6 If it helps ... "emerge" is the process of performing steps:
7
8 - fetch
9 - prepare
10 - configure
11 - compile
12 - test
13 - write staging image
14
15 These steps can all happen independently without affecting other
16 packages.
17
18 the "install" is the process of deploying the staged image to your OS
19 and updating the vdb.
20
21 This process typically requires locking and multiple installation stages
22 don't typically happen concurrently.
23
24 But if it helps, pretend that "emerge" means "compiling", and it
25 becomes much clearer.
