Hi all,
I see that emerge has a resume option - but it only compiles from where
the the previous emerge was stopped and when you issue a resume, it
starts at the beginning of the next package to be emerged.
Is it possible to get emerge to continue from where the actual compile
was broken (ie. not recompile from the package beginning, but rather
from within the package itself ?)
I find a constant problem in that large packages take so long to
compile, that I need to shutdown my laptop before an emerge is complete
(to go home or whatever), and then I have to start from the beginning
again.....OO takes around 6 hours for me, and it seems that this would
be reasonable to implement so that emerges could be resumed from the
last source file where the compilation was halted ?
The option should be able to ask emerge to start compiling the package
without un-compressing and cleaning up the last compile I'd assume.
thanks.
Trevor
