Description Josep Sanjuas 2002-12-08 08:12:17 UTC

If you have to install many packages at once then portage does, for every 
package:  
- downloads it if not already in /usr/portage/distfiles  
- builds it  
  
It would save time if if could, while building a package, download the other  
disfiles needed. This would save some time, especially on the installation  
process.
