Where does macports log its stdout?

  • 772

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    port upgrade outdated 2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

  2. 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.
