Subject: Gentoo beeping at me!
Date: Mon, 22 Nov 2004 20:43:55 -0500
Hey,

Someone was bound to complain. I set xorg to emerge and go to sleep. I
fall asleep and it starts beeping! GRR! Doesnt it bother anyone? --
under no circumstances do I want  beeping.

I use portlog-info after emerge to read all einfo/ewarn/eerror
messages and who actually sits there watching the compile output for
hours? -- I do all compiling strictly when the machine is idle and
thats during the night.

So is ebeep really needed at all? -- if anything have an elog function
or something to stick a note in emerge.log or something if its that
crucial. I know this was discussed already, but please, no beeping.

Also, if you're going to use ebeep, how about an option in make.conf:
beep="no" # annoying beeping sound for those that actually watch the
compile output.

Regards
Roman Gaufman
