Description Eske Christiansen 2005-03-30 09:25:53 UTC

When I emerge something the process is too serialized, you download a src pkg. compile it. you download a new and compile it.
why not download a src pkg compile it and in the background download the rest while compiling. For a use as I on a 256/256 kbit/s adsl the wait time to download is much bigger than compile time.

Reproducible: Always
