When performing a subtask such as a "syncing portage tree" or "formatting hd," if the user clicks cancel on the pop-up window, he or she should be returned to the previous configuration screen instead of having the installer exit. The reasoning for this is, if the portage sync fails from the internet, and the lengthy stage3 tarball has already been downloaded, the user who doesn't know where the stage3 tarball is stored may simply restart the installation, redownload stage3, and take far too long installing Gentoo. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: cancel the portage syncing phase Actual Results: installer quits Expected Results: syncing quits and user is returned to previous installation step
Quit CCing gli-bugs on bugs that should definitely be *assigned* to us. Just assign to us to begin with.
This is not feasible with the current installer code. Perhaps we'll look at this in the future.
