Description Jose 2002-12-22 17:39:25 UTC
HI to all:
I think that a new feature to portage should be concurrent download. I will try
to explain with an example:
Now, when you do: emerge foo, this is the sequence.
download foodependence1 
compile foodependence1
download foodependence2
compile foodependence2
download foodependence3
compile foodependence3


I think that should be faster;


download foodependence1 
compile foodependence1 AND download foodependence2 
compile foodependence2 AND download foodependence3
compile foodependence3

Thats is, while emerge is compiling, it could be able to download the next file.
...to save time.


Thanks, and sorry for my poor english.
