Description Aurélien Guillaume 2007-02-13 07:15:23 UTC

In crossdev, when a package fails you have to redo all the steps of building binutils, glibc, gcc etc, even if it's only the last that failed. But if you could pass -nN to emerge, that would skip the already installed package to resume only the failed one.

It'a a 2-lines patch.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
N/A

Actual Results:  
It remerges every package, including the already-installed ones

Expected Results:  
Remerging only the failed one, skipping the others.
