Description Deroka Dorse 2005-03-15 03:54:59 UTC

It would be better if portage forked when in need to download things if something else is ready to build.
Say, I want to emerge foo, and it needs bar. 
Bar could have been downloaded while my (possibly slow) machine compiles foo.
This takes a lot more time than it could.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge prothon
