Description JJ L. 2004-12-20 15:14:59 UTC 
Lets say I 'emerge -uDp world' to find 20 packages that are outdated, so i 'emerge -uD world' and go to bed, only to find out that since the first package didn't compile, emerge stopped altogther. I'm proposing adding a '--continue' flag that will save the error to a log, and continue with the ebuilds that weren't dependant on the one that crashed.

An advancment of this would be a 'forced continue'. Lets say package 2 depends on package 1, if package 1's compile errors, but its only an upgrade, continue compiling package 2 nontheless.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

emerge --resume and emerge --resume --skipfirst are what you require.
