For some reason, their build process beeps whenever it enters or leaves a directory. Which is very annoying for those of us who try to compile for many hours while we're trying to sleep. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Expected Results: no annoying beeps while compiling What I resort to doing is to start the emerge, once I hear a beep I go to: /var/tmp/portage/mozilla-*/work/mozilla/config/xterm.str remove the ^G, and resave it. No more beeps during the compile. could someone have the ebuild patch that file to avoid this useless beeping?
