Re: [gentoo-dev] Portage suggestion

[Thomas T. Veldhouse]

I think what the original poster is looking for is the ability for it to
fetch in the background and compile in the foreground.  Time to compile
meta-packages like KDE might be reduced significantly, especially on
bandwidth challenged systems.  Basically, the fetch should be performed on a
separate thread than the build.
