Here's the code in Awesome that detects EOF in a spawned command's standard output: https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/blob/master/lib/awful/spawn.lua#L238-L275. The problem is that older versions of LGI have a bug where they can't tell apart a blank line and EOF, so if one spawns a command, Awesome will stop listening the moment it gets a blank line. Commands like emerge throw a lot of blank lines, and they require manually adding workarounds like piping through awk. Obviously, it probably affects other software too. This is the bug: https://github.com/pavouk/lgi/issues/125. It was fixed in LGI 0.9.1, via this commit: https://github.com/pavouk/lgi/commit/85b5dae240d29475ea1de61185c54fcb6dabeb07. I suggest marking dev-lua/lgi-0.9.2 as stable, or at the very least backporting a patch to fix the issue.
