Estimated update time: 6 hours, 7 minutes. All system in 6h? It is something like 120 packages..What's the speed of your box? I recently did an emerge --emptytreeworld on my
1.6G Pentium M laptop. It had 446 packages done in lessthan 29 hours (I say less than because if would run long stretches ata time and stop after failed downloads here and there because ofwireless problems... for all I know it could have been sitting there
waiting for me to fix my wireless router for a couple of hours ormore).So if you have a comparably fast system, with not too many useflagsenabled, I'd say that 120 packages in 6 hours is quite possible.
I have a P4-2.4GHz laptop.
I forgot to say that the estimation time was made by genlop. And was
quite wrong! It took something like 11h to compile 112 packages,
(though I've interrupted while compiling gcc-3.3.6.. so it had to
restart it anew). From this, I don't know if I should trust genlop
anymore.. or is there something to configure so that it is more
accurate?
Just for the record, the migration to gcc-3.4.4 went just fine.. until now at least. :)
