On my computer, building takes several hours on some packages. I have used |
| 11 |
it in such way that it builds in several windows on the same time, but i |
| 12 |
guess that that's not at all the best practice, especially with some |
| 13 |
combinations of packages. So i would like to add all packages, seeing all |
| 14 |
blocks and inter dependencies, then start building when ready (and go out of |
| 15 |
home, when it builds, and be sure that it will do it's best when i'm away). |

I know --resume, but that's not what i meant. |
| 37 |

Imagine the situation: |
| 39 |
emerge -p package1 package2 |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
part1 (needed by package1) |
| 42 |
part2 (needed by part3) |
| 43 |
part3 (needed by package2) |
| 44 |
part4 (needed by package2) |
| 45 |
part5 (needed by both package1 and package2) |
| 46 |
package1 |
| 47 |
package2 |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
now i start "emerge package1 package2" and go to work (or sleep or party or |
| 50 |
sauna). |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
part2 fails -- some bug or misconfiguration. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
currently it means that when i came back home, i see that part1 is built, |
| 55 |
but nothing more and 4-5 hours are actually just wasted. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
There should be a way to have all those built when i came home: |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
part1 (needed by package1) |
| 60 |
part4 (needed by package2) |
| 61 |
part5 (needed by both package1 and package2) |
| 62 |
package1 |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
There should be an error message listing all others. Also, i would add them |
| 65 |
to world and then emerge so that --update would try to emerge them again, |
| 66 |
asking me about all previously failed packages when i start it, if i want to |
| 67 |
retry this time (yes, no, all, none). |

If you don't do it excellently, dont do it at all. Because if it's not |
| 87 |
excellent, it won't be profitable or fun, and if you're not in business for |
| 88 |
fun or profit, what the hell are you doing here? |
