Bug 37461 – Unmerging kernel sources is slow

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX

[Description Jed Liu 2004-01-06 23:58:19 UTC]

Unmerging is painfully slow.  Especially with kernel sources.  I find I can unmerge kernel sources infinitely faster by using `rm -rf' before using `emerge -C'.  Is there any way this can be fixed?

Nope. Can't selectively track when it's convenient.
