Yes, which is one of the reasons I do a fetch-only immediately after a |
| 10 |
sync - unattended. But when working interactively, running emerge world |
| 11 |
three times, once each for download, pretend and install, only slows |
| 12 |
things down. Not just the downloads but also the fact that the dependency |
| 13 |
tree has to be calculated three times. |
