Description
I have several suggestions to improve the output pmerge produces:
* Use color for indicating build phases. If you pmerge a series of packages, it's quite hard to see where one package is done and the next merge is started, for example. I often find myself scrolling up to go to a particular package and would like to have an easily visible indicator... colors are very easy to see.
* Provide a digest of the elog messages that were output during the merge, as recent Portage versions do. Otherwise, you often miss such messages when pmerging a whole bunch of packages...
* Provide a summary at the end of a pmerge. This should include the number of packages merged, a list of failed packages if --ignore-failures was used, and information about config files to upgrade (dispatch-conf).
