Subject: [gentoo-user] Pre-emerge checks are pointless.
Date: Fri, 20 Dec 2024 18:34:00 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <73901244-5495-0850-1f94-b1fac4e90561@verizon.net> (raw)

I'm trying to drag through a pass of emerge --emptytree world and I hit 
a block of 50 failures, the only way to get through these is to 
skipfirst through each one... I'm a gentoo user so therefore I'm a 
massochist so I just have to sacrifice a few dozen hours with uparrow 
-enter every few minutes. But EACH AND EVERY TIME I do this, it does 
pre-emerge checks for packages that it doesn't even reach to try to 
emerge... I mean the package is just going to fail anyway along with 
these other packages so doing a pre-emerge check is just wasting my damn 
time as it is running about 30 checks none of which have any effect, or 
any real point at all. I guess with a fundamentally massochistic user 
base, the maintainers had to be as sadistic as they could possibly be... =\
