Description crusaderky 2003-09-11 12:02:23 UTC

You should add an option to emerge like
-A ['command']
that allows to asyncronously download all the required packets while compiling.
That would save a lot of time with poor connections. 'command' would be the
shell command to issue when finished downloading.
i.e.
emerge -A 'adsl-stop' kde
