Description Tobias Kaminsky 2009-10-06 20:06:10 UTC

Hi,

I am using a 2Gb tmpfs for /var/tmp/portage. If some packages fail, the tmpfs is full, so that all other packages fail with "no space left on device".
Adding an option to /etc/make.conf would help.

I know that these option prevent user from retrieving the compile error via build.log, but this option should be an additonal switch, which is "off" by default.

Thank you

Tobi

In svn r14517 I've added support for FEATURES=fail-clean.

In svn r14518 I've added a --fail-clean[=n] option for emerge, so you can set --fail-clean in make.conf EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS and use --fail-clean=n to temporarily disable it from the command line.

This is fixed in 2.1.7 and 2.2_rc45.
