Description John 2005-01-23 12:45:57 UTC
I notice that there are alot of packages that have important info detailed at the end of the ebuild merge.  The console beeps have been a great idea as they alert me to possible info I may need to know, however, the built in pauses are varied and usually never long enough.  This is fine in a single emerge with no deps, but during an -Duv world it really matters.

My suggestion is to add a flag to emerge that pauses for user input, or times out after a good solid block of time (2-3 mins).  I think it would help users be more aware of changes in packages they have installed, and possibly reduce forum load a bit.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -Duv world
2.
3.
