Description Frank Barton 2003-08-22 17:39:47 UTC

Would it be possible to improve the effective speed of emerge by downloading
packages while previous packages are compiling?
IE: to install package baz you need to install foo, bar, and obviously baz
download foo, then while compiling foo, downloard bar, if needed wait for the
download to finish, if the download of bar finishes before the compile of foo,
start downloading baz.

this would make life much easier for modem users, as well as decreasing the
total time spent installing packages that have non-installed dependancies

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
