Created attachment 369622 [details] Ebuild for quietemerge-20140205 This is for adding an ebuild for my emerge wrapper called quietemerge. The main feature was to provide an ETA for the emerge process. So, it is like a --quiet + time left. It computes the time left from the old emerges in emerge.log, and so new emerges do not show anything. It had been released in the Gentoo forums in 2009 [1] and I have been maintaining it since then. It should be very stable -- I haven't received much complaints over the past two years. Originally, I did releases on Google Code [2]. Now I have shifted it to Github [3].

A word on the dependencies: sys-apps/grep -- obviously needed for grep sys-apps/portage -- it does not do emerge itself. It simply tracks the output sys-apps/util-linux -- needed for mount/umount sys-process/procps -- needed for kill Configuration file: It creates a configuration file in ~root/.config. This is not created for non-root users. In case the package seems good enough for inclusion, then one can think about whether it should look for config file in ~root or in /etc.
