Hogren, |
| 29 |
What I do may be of help, but then again, it may be all wrong and one |
| 30 |
day the gates of hell may open up and swallow mankind because of what I |
| 31 |
did, but hey, that's life. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
There is the FEATURES entry in make.conf, man make.conf. Within this |
| 34 |
are two options "keeptemp" and "keepwork". I enable them, then the |
| 35 |
consequences of which is that stuff is not cleaned up. Hence when I |
| 36 |
rerun the emerge, the "make" within sees the already existing files and |
| 37 |
skips them, in other words it does as "make" is expected to do. |
| 38 |
|

Please bear in mind if you have /var/tmp/portage set up to be a RAM |
| 40 |
disk of some sort, obviously if you turn your machine off, you'll look |
| 41 |
the intermediate files, but if you are hard disk based, they will be |
| 42 |
there when you restart the machine and so when you rerun emerge, the |
| 43 |
part up until when you killed the emerge originally will be skipped. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Hope this helps, |
| 46 |
