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 No, that's not really possible.
