heres an idea, in the case of an emerge -U world, instead of postponing |
| 2 |
F-related packages, portage could ask for all of them to be downloaded up |
| 3 |
front. might require a new variable, but I think that feature would make |
| 4 |
emerge world's more smooth. |

just my two cents |

how does this look for the text to explain F? oh, and it would be |
| 16 |
nice to be able to say "postpone F-related packages" via a switch or |
| 17 |
something, they make "emerge -U world" break rather annoyingly and |
| 18 |
await user interaction. |

I'm sorry for not producing a patch, but I'm not exactly sure where |
| 21 |
the emerge documentation source is located. :-) |

[ebuild F ] media-video/realplayer-8-r6 |

The realplayer ebuild requires you to download sources |
| 25 |
manually for it to install the package. Instructions on how |
| 26 |
and what to download is usually given by the package when you |
| 27 |
attempt to install it. Please not that currently, portage |
| 28 |
will halt the merge process when it reaches such a package. |
