Yes, I had too, once. At that time though quite a few packages could only be |
| 17 |
emerged with -j1, so I had to make exceptions for them. It was easier just |
| 18 |
to put the options into an alias: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
$ alias emerj='sudo emerge --jobs=24 --load-average=48 --keep-going |
| 21 |
--nospinner' |
| 22 |

Speaking of long emerge times, so far this box has spent nearly six hours on |
| 24 |
two systems simultaneously (one being a chroot for a slower machine) and |
| 25 |
still hasn't finished. And qtwebkit has just failed; I'd better look into |
| 26 |
that. |
