Please _think_ before you make such a demand. Just a small investigation |
25 |
would show this: |
26 |
|
27 |
dev-lang/php-5.1.4-r6 has _96_ USE flags. That makes 2^96 = 7.9928+28 |
28 |
combinations. Given the (unreasonable) assumption that each compilation |
29 |
would only take 1s and each compilation would actually succeed, you'd |
30 |
still have ~8e28 seconds. The age of the universe is approximately 4e17 |
31 |
seconds. |
32 |
|
33 |
This hasn't yet investigated allt he possible combinations of packages |
34 |
depending on dev-lang/php, or the ~10,000 other packages in the tree. |
