It can safely be used once you strictly watch merged packages and dependencies not to overlap. Use common sense. I am running multiple emerges too when (as mentioned by someone else in this thread) something big is getting compiled and I need something small, not dependent on the big thing. -- /~\ The ASCIIAndrej Ticho Kacian andrej at kacian dot sk \ / Ribbon Campaign GnuPG public key ID: 7CD93FE2 (pgp.mit.edu) X Against HTML Key fingerprint: / \ Email!

[gentoo-user] Multiple emerges
Hello, Could anyone tell me wether I can run multiple instances of emerge at the same time or not? I guess it depends on how well it loks the portage database? I'm asking because I'd like to run a big emerge (e.g. mozilla or kde) and then run several smaller ones (e.g. host, pciutils) at the same time so I can get on with configuring and setting up the little bits while the big bits are building.

While I have done it many times before without problems, YMMV. Chances of something going wrong are small, but its not recommended. Like I said, YMMV. -- Andrew Gaffney -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Multiple emerges
I guess it can be done as long as the merges don't overlap each other and attempt to install common packages. To be honest, I don't do it since it's not worth the risk to me.

I would say to do a emerge -p packname first and as long as there are no conflicting packages, a package that both want to install, all should be ok. Jayson Garrell -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
