QueueD-Wrapper Get latest version here: http://gentoo.twobit.net/scripts/qdwrap/ An EMERGE/portage wrapper (written in bash) that uses two "threads" to queue downloads and begin the emerge of each one in order as they are downloaded. It provides a decent summary of progress as well as makes logs of everything that is reported to the screen for each package. It would be of advantage to most users by downloading continuously while emerging large packages. The hours spent emerging KDE, glibc, and would be used for downloading packages and building, instead of just building. It's commented up pretty well so it shouldn't be to hard to figure out. It doesn't modify anything itself, with the except of the logs it places in /var/tmp/portage. Two files 'emerge-qd' and 'fetch-qd.sh' go into /usr/bin It takes a couple of options --nocolor --debug Everything else is passed directly to emerge. emerge-qd -eu world is valid, and gives you a nicer view of what's going on, I think. Please pass along any oddities you notice. I've tested it fairly well, but I'd like to see more modem or slower connections results. Nick Jones <carpaski@twobit.net>
Note bug 2832 when handling this one.
No point in having this here anymore...
