Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
On my embedded systems (beaglebone black, 2 x Arietta G25) I installed |
| 4 |
Gentoo (of course!:). |
| 5 |
Since these systems and especially the Ariettas are not as fast as a |
| 6 |
PC the greater update, which additionally includes C++ sources to |
| 7 |
compile takes time (read: hours) to finish. Often I run this over |
| 8 |
night. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Since my PC do the forwarding of requests to the internet, it has to |
| 11 |
run the whole time also. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
To circumvent this I access the embedded systems via abduco/dvtm, so |
| 14 |
I can log out while the process keeps running. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The current (shorted decription) workflow is |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
eix-sync |
| 19 |
emerge ... -f (fetching all items, so the connection to the internet is |
| 20 |
no longer needed) |
| 21 |
emerge ... (starting the compilation, logout and shutdown the PC) |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
This includes "Calculating dependencies" twice of the same set of |
| 25 |
data, which also takes a longer time. This is -- technically -- not |
| 26 |
needed. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Is it possible, to do ONE call to emerge, which asks (according |
| 29 |
to option -a, if set ) and given a yes first fetches ALL necessary |
| 30 |
files and data and compiles then everything? |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
This would save one "Calculating dependencies" and also reduces writes |
| 33 |
to the flash memory. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Is it currently possible somehow and if not: I would like to have it |
| 36 |
included as new feature into an upcoming release of emerge?!?! |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Thanks a lot in advance! 8) |

Best regards, |
