[gentoo-user] Stop and continue emerge -e world
Hello everybody! I'm currently running emerge -e world because of gcc upgrade. I would appreciate if I can stop this emerge and continue tomorrow from where it was stopped. I have two questions: 1) Is there any possibility to stop and later continue (after reboot) emerge -e world without compiling every package again? 2) If I do this, will be the system usable after reboot? (some of packages compiled with gcc-3.3.6 and other with gcc-3.4.5) Thank you, Petr -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Not so. emerge --resume restarts the previous emerge process, even after a reboot, exactly as Petr needs. I doubt the fact that some packages are compiled with one GCC and others with a different one is going to cause a problem, especially as you'll carry on with the recompiling after the reboot. Even if you don't reboot, your system will be running with a mixture of 3.3/3.4-compiled packages during the emerge. -- Neil Bothwick When puns are outlawed only outlaws will have puns. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Ubuntu compiled the kernel with a different version of gcc than what most of the other programs were compiled with. Jim -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

(some of packages > compiled with gcc-3.3.6 and other with gcc-3.4.5) Actually, the faster way would be to use revdep-rebuild instead of emerge -e world (isn't this mensioned in the upgrade guide for gcc?). If you still have gcc-3.3.6 installed on your system, you won't have a problem from rebooting (as far as I know).

Just a note when you issue an emerge --resume, if you stopped the emerge in the middle of a compile it will not pick up in the middle it will start compiling that package from the beginning again. > I doubt the fact that some packages are compiled with one GCC and others > with a different one is going to cause a problem, especially as you'll > carry on with the recompiling after the reboot.

But in addition to upgrade of gcc I have changed CFLAGS form O2 to O3 so I wanted to recompile the whole system. Petr -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Is it possible somehow to use a feature like "keepwork" that deltes /var/tmp/portage after a successful emerge, but not after an interrupt?
