In order to help the auto-builders (our own, or in-house ones), just log the current message in a file that contains: Package: $($(PKG)_NAME) Version: $($(PKG)_VERSION) Action : Last '>>>' message displayed For example: Package: host-fakeroot Version: 1.18.2 Action : Configuring If there is no package, then the package name and version are empty, eg.: Package: Version: Action : Generating root filesystem image rootfs.tar Also, all messages are logged to a file, one per line, with the date each message was generated at, as the number of seconds elapsed since Epoch. This will hopefully help autobuilders extract the real reason for a failure, and take appropriate action (eg. bug-mail the last git-author of a package...) Signed-off-by: "Yann E.
