Re: [gentoo-portage-dev] Downloading while compiling - FETCHCOMMAND inside.

ok my point wasn't prozilla this could easily changed to FETCHPROG=wget or whatever you prefer. Due to the fakt I'm not working with && after the fetching you also are not to remove the lockfile even if the $FETCHPROG returnes with a failure. But after all it's simply a question of your personal preferences. My main point was, that a lockfile is not to contain any data at all, for my taste it only should be a empty file as a token of aktivity.
