Description Mathijs Mohlmann 2006-02-12 01:42:36 UTC

while doing a long emerge world and emerge quits after a build error, I have to do i few emerges to get the build working again.   But after that i would like to be able to do emerge --resume, but there is nothing to resume since the last emerge wrote over the resume data.

Is it possible to only overwrite the resume data when emerge quits with a failure (so i will be able to resume the last faulted emerge) or something like 'resume --saveresume'.

patch that makes a backup mergelist automatically

When emerge would normally discard resume data, this patch causes it to save backup resume data if the length of the merge list is greater than 1.  When the user calls `emerge --resume` and there is nothing else to resume, the backup merge list is automatically used instead.
