Where does macports log its stdout?
Does it even log output? In particular, I'm trying to find out how I can recover those messages about, for example, how to use the updated version of Python, or how to use launchd to start a new app by default. I schedule macports updates so I almost always miss these messages because I'm not sitting in front of my computer when the updates occur.
TIA!
Currently MacPorts has no notion of logging of build activities of a given port or sets of ports, however you can pipe the output (stderr and stdout) to a file for later viewing.
port upgrade outdated 2>&1 >> updates.txt
I suggest redirecting the output of your executions of port
so that you can review the information at a later time.
A cursory find
in /opt/local doesn't bring up anything useful.
