howto stop emerge (SOLVED)

[vanGogh]

sorry can't remember read about properly stopping an emerge.
Problem: electician is coming in one hour and i'm still emerging openoffice (for more than 30 hours now, takes longer than gnome, wow) and i have to shut down box then.
Question: what's the best way to shutdown my box whilst emerging? thx

Just shutdown as normal. (You may press CTRL+C before this command to explicitly make emerge stop, but this is not needed.)

Code: Select all

shutdown -h now

Then when the electrician's gone, resume emerge with this command to tell it to keep the already compiled pieces of code:

Code: Select all

FEATURES="keeptemp keepwork" emerge --resume
