Description Timo Boettcher 2003-03-27 19:37:35 UTC

is it possible to add an option to emerge to download the next 
sourcecode-archive while the last one is still compiling?




I am now doing 


   emerge -uDf world &


and when the first archive is ready


   emerge -uD world




could it be possible to do this in one step? like


   emerge -uD world --async
