It comes from watching what happens at the end of running emerge, don't |
| 6 |
read any more into it than that. Especially not optimism, I think you |
| 7 |
might be projecting your own frustrations. |

A couple of years ago I used to have to manually resolve blockers about |
| 10 |
one world update in two. It started becoming a huge PITA especially as |
| 11 |
the deps are usually easy to solve - if I can look at the screen for a |
| 12 |
few seconds and figure it out, then software can do the same in |
| 13 |
milliseconds. Recent portages now do this properly when viewed from a |
| 14 |
results-only perspective. |

On my machines, that is what I see happening. That is the ONLY set of |
| 17 |
FACTS I have to work on; you may have more. |

I'm willing to give up 4 minutes while emerge runs so I don't have to |
| 20 |
spend many more minutes right afterwards doing manually the very shit |
| 21 |
that software is very good at. Whether portage is a complete pile of |
| 22 |
dogshit software or not is beside the point. Even if it is, my 4 minutes |
| 23 |
still buys me lots <shrug> |
