--skipfirst requires manual intervention after emerge has failed. I |
| 14 |
think the OP is asking for something that just continues without |
| 15 |
intervention. |

You would, of course want this command to be nice to dependencies, |
| 18 |
otherwise you'll break something. I've often wondered about such a |
| 19 |
feature during emerge world. Especially when it breaks in the first few |
| 20 |
packages. In a case like this (indent showing dependencies): |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
pkg-a |
| 23 |
pkg-b |
| 24 |
pkg-c |
| 25 |
pkg-d |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
emerge would build in the order pkg-b pkg-a pkg-d pkg-c. If emerge |
| 28 |
fails during pkg-b, whats to stop it continuing at pkg-d and then pkg-c? |
