hi,
just a few minutes back here on my system i tried to batch compile a lot of packages and it failed shortly after the first packages have been merged because the automake subsystem refused to work and i didnt noticed it in the first place ...
yes you surely guessed it already...

that could be preventable in the future by this :
revdep-rebuild (or a new tool developed from scratch) should have an fast optional check to test for a working minimal compiler toolchain which includes all mandatory build tools like automake(yes slotted ones too), gcc, make, m4, ld, grep (i missed several to keep the list short) and some more if installed (scons, cmake etc.) just like a oldschool configure script but more advanced.
one last question: anyone got an idea how to assign (sound) events to state returns from the emerge command? the possibility to forward events to the play command ( sox package ) would be a very nice optional refit to portages functionality.
opinions wanted
