Description Thomas Capricelli 2003-05-22 07:33:24 UTC

i want all emerge stuff (looking up the db, compilation and such) be niced. That is 
executed with lower priority. i already put 'nice -n 20' in  the bin/emake file, but not all 
ebuild use emake, and compilation is only a part of what i would like to be niced. 
Adding a option in make.conf should be quick, clean and easy, isn't it ?

This is taken from /etc/make.conf of portage 2.0.48 which is marked stable as of yesterday.
# PORTAGE_NICENESS provides a default increment to emerge's niceness level.
#     Note: This is an increment. Running emerge in a niced environment will
#     reduce it further. Default is unset.
#PORTAGE_NICENESS=3

Nothing to do, I'd say - closing.
