Huge compile list are always left at night times, when PC is not much used. And generally these updates are left unattended. Even if there is problem with one build, the installation process process stop. Is it possible to do a session install. LEts say we do "emerge -up --deep world" And it makes kind of sessions for the package and its dependencies. So if one session fails, it moves to new session (new set of install that are not dependent on this previous install). Can save a lot of time, expecialy while doing unattended installs. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
emerge first; emerge second; emerge third; emerge fourth should work here, can we close this bug, as there exists such an obvious solution?
looks dupish to bug 12768, about portage failing to install along a certain branch of the depgraph and continuing along later.
(In reply to comment #1) > emerge first; emerge second; emerge third; emerge fourth > Parse the package list from "emerge -puD world" and then do a separate invocation of "emerge --oneshot =$cpv" for each package? That would seem to accomplish the goal of this bug (and bug 12768).
