Description Ole Tange 2002-07-04 17:48:14 UTC

When an emerge depends on several packages it would optimize time if the packages 
were fetched while compiling the packages already fetched.

So:

  emerge openoffice

should run:

  emerge -f openoffice &
  emerge openoffice

Nick has an implementation of this.  Dunno the status of it, let him tell you :)

I'm working on it...
Does the things you are asking about, plus a great deal more.

Bug reports and Functionality requests are welcome. (Post them here.)

--emptytree DOES NOT play well with my code. It updates portage, and causes
mis-matched code... I should have this remedied in the near-future.

Current code can be found at:
http://gentoo.twobit.net/scripts/portage/threaded/

ALWAYS emerge the version of portage that matches the version of my code first.
i.e.: portage.py-2.0.9-nj and emerge-2.0.9-nj
emerge \=portage-2.0.9
THEN follow the directions.
