Description roma1390 2002-11-03 11:56:56 UTC

Hint: let say we need packet A. This packet A depends from B and C. Why we need wait: download B, compile B, download C, compile C, download A, compile A. Faster way is: download B, (download C, download A) & (compile B, vait for C source, compile C, wait for A, compile A). This is faster. Ok this is one bad thing. Way we need download A, B if B compile fails. But: you can add extra option to emerge, and give chance user to chose. 

I new in gentoo, maybe i missed someting.

Bug 1661 is for parallel d/l compile 
 
there are other bugs for compiling independent dependencies at the same time 
 
in other words, please dont re-open this bug
