Description Brad Allen 2003-12-28 08:25:16 UTC
Parallel emerge.  Emerge would have to lock its subcomponents in order
to allow this.  Lots of problems currently don't allow this:

* Duplication of efforts of other parallel emerges;
* bad interdependence coordination (none).

Currently, I have to use "-f" on all of my other emerges, and only
have one core one compiling.  This gets hard.



Also, parallel download to compile; download usually doesn't take
much system resources, whereas compile does, but both take a lot of time;
they could be done in parallel.  (Download next item while current
item compiling.)
