Description DEMAINE Benoît-Pierre, aka DoubleHP 2006-12-04 05:34:57 UTC
Activated parallel wget recently; now get
waiting for lock on /usr/portage/distfiles/.locks/gcc-4.1.1-patches-1.9.tar.bz2.portage_lockfile
for ages

I firts place, I thought it was a bug of portage; after some reading, I remembered I just activated parallel fetch.

I think the message should mention this:
"if you use parallel fetch, we will wait for this lockfile until download is compleeted by some other process". 

When I first say emerge hang on this line for 10 mn, I thought about filesystem of program bug. Since parallel fetch is a global option, the above message could even be printed conditionnally.

Happy Gentooiiing.
