See the status of emerge (like pacman)

[tuggbuss]

When emerging are there way(s) to display a statusbar in current terminal, like pacman, something like this?

[bunder]

depending on the terminal you are using, plus multiplexers like tmux, emerge can already report its progress, however it's in the form of "5 of 100".

Try with FEATURES="candy", dont remember what it exactly did but I think it was a progress bar like you wanted.

Yes, i have it already since install, but it might interfere with my -q option, don't want to see all verbose output, just a simple line would be nice.

EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--quiet-build"

[tuggbuss]

I have EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--ask --autounmask-write=y --quiet --jobs 12 --load-average 12"

Is there a status bar with --quiet-build option set?

[The Main Man]

There's no status bar, let's say you're emerging 12 packages, you would see something like 'Emerging 1 of 12 name_of_the_package' , something like that, can't remember now.
After package one is emerged you would see new line 'Emerging 2 of 12....'
I don't know if there's a way to have just one line and a status bar, like you described in your first post.

Ah, i see. That's what the --quiet option does as far as i can tell at least.
