portage 2.0.51 introduced several warnings e.g. about emerge-ing /path/to/ebuild etc. While from a general POV it might be desirable to prevent people from messing up their system, I'd like to be able to configure these timeouts and - if possible - turn them off. I find these warnings highly annoying when writing my own ebuilds. Besides, hardcoded values are not good practice. ;) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge /path/to/some/ebuild 2. waste..10..seconds..of..my..life 3. grumble Suggestion: PORTAGE_WARN_DELAY >0 shows the warnings, 0 suppresses them and lets me break my system without too much pampering.
Closing this since the delay can be configured in portage now..although it's a little bit underdocumented. :)
