Description Eric Brown 2003-12-22 18:13:41 UTC

I've found that many people in #gentoo ask how long it takes to compile various items in portage.  So to give everyone a break, why not include Bash Equivalent times in portage? it's just a number that can be echoed when something is emerge'd or emerge -s'd... then people can try to predict how long things will take roughly.

The reason i submit this now is because it seems very easy to implement, and i think a lot of people could use this functionality.

Because it's not that easy, different CFLAGS and USE flags make a comparison
very hard.

Comment 2 Eric Brown 2003-12-22 22:08:22 UTC

it just has to be proportional right?, so if you say 5 bash units with -march=athlon -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer, and your bash unit = 5min...

if i use a different set of flags, the times should still be proportional to my own bash time right?  at least the ratio shouldn't be TOO far off right?
