Umm... i didn't realize that! :p Until now I hadn't actually looked at the |
| 16 |
esync script. |

I guess while I was trying it out, subjectively it seemed to do its thing |
| 19 |
faster. Perhaps that was down to the fact it calls emerge with the verbose |
| 20 |
option off, which provides less overhead in the terminal. But obviously that |
| 21 |
is easy enough to do from the command line as well. Still I get the |
| 22 |
functionality of esearch in the bargain so it suits me. |
