1 hi,
2 if you find your time would you mind pointing your eyes on bug 262010 [1].
3 There is interesting idea about loging usefull informations about repository
4 for further usage (that thing i find interesting and already implemented [2]).
5
6 But in comment 4 user ask about updates itself. If we have live package and
7 revision does not change it is pointless waste of resources to recompile it
8 usualy.

10 So i am asking if it is worth to implement some LIVE_FORCE_BUILD:bool where
11 user specify if he wants recompile the package or not and if LIVE_FORCE_BUILD
12 is set to false and nothing changes all relevant phases are skipped with
13 something like:
14 elog "Doing nothing because we are UP-TO-DATE already."
15 which might result in faster emerge @live-rebuild for example because not
16 every package is needed to be updated.
