The principle is to run emerge -uDpv world or similar once and stop it (Ctrl-c), a bit after displaying the list of packages. Then run the script. The script get the list of packages from emerge -resume --resume --pretend.
Then it try to install the 1st package of the list. If it's okay it goes on
If not, it remove the package from the start of the list and put at the end...
It may end or not but it will most probably install more package than a simple emerge --....etc
If you want to stop just use your keyboard!
HéHé! One known problem is that you don't read the warning and may hands up with some few problems.
SOmething that is shurely missing is to make 2 threads : one for downloading the packages and another for compilation that would boost up things especially with slow connection like mine
! Here I use dtu download stuff and I don't yet know a dman thing about how it works!Code: Select all
