[gentoo-user] emerge --keep-going but it doesn't

[Dale]

Hi folks.

I'm doing a fresh install onto another hard drive.  Just felt like doing 
a fresh one instead of copying.  Anyway, I got most everything 
installed.  I was doing my last set of installs, things like seamonkey, 
firefox, pigdin, gtkam and all the other programs I use for this and 
that.  I did copy my old make.conf over from the old install.  I have 
the --keep-going option in there.  Who wants to start a LARGE emerge to 
have it stop for some package that isn't a big deal?

I'm sure people have heard of googleearth and the file size mismatch 
problem.  I thought it was fixed since I have not had the issue in a 
good while.  Anyway, it appears it wasn't fixed.  Portage stopped 
because of this package and while it should be finished, it now has 
about another 7 hours of compile time.

Can someone explain to me why it stopped instead of finishing with the 
other packages?  Googleearth is not a library and nothing else depends 
on it either.  It failing is not a issue.  I would much rather portage 
to have emerged the rest then told me googleearth was having its usual 
bad hair day.

Is there another option I can use that I don't know about?

Thanks.

Dale
