22 Delaying would not solve the problem as it is...
23
24 If the compilation will fail at a certain point (and it will fail,
25 since this is a complete new thing) -- would it be possible to resume
26 even some tweaks, hacks and patches (even certain recompilations)
27 would be needed in between?
28
29 Can I stop a running emerge @world and resume later?
30
31 How does a restarted emerge @world recognizes packages, which are
32 already compiled according to the new standard?
33
34 Cheers
