[gentoo-dev] add a "beep" to Portage

I think it would be useful (at least to me, at this moment) to have an
option in portage to output a beep (char 7) when it is finished with an
emerge. This would be an option that is off by default, but could be
turned on if you wanted to be building several things in the background
(another console perhaps) and you wanted to be notified when it was done
to make more efficient use of your time. I doubt it would be more than a
~  few lines of code added. Something like:

if(BEEP_ON_FINISH)
	printf((char)7);

???

Anyway . . . back to rebuilding everything (new CFLAGS :-p )

How about:

Well, if you were going to put something on every line linke that, you
could put emerge whatever; echo -e \\7. I was thinking of something that
wouldn't involve the extra typing, it would just beep when the emerge
finished without having to type something extra every time you emerged
something. In retrospect, it's not a big enough deal to modify Portage over.

You can simulate the effect you're going after with a quick bash
function:

function emerge {
    /usr/bin/emerge $@; echo -e \\7
}

That way, there's no extra typing needed nor installing other packages,
and it works right now.  I suppose you could also swap the echo
statement with aplay and have it play some kind of compile is finished
sound.  Seems kind of interesting.

what about creating a script /root/bin/emerge:
#!/bin/bash
emerge $*
echo -e \007

Note this should be "$@", not bare $@ if you want to preserve quoting of
the original args.  This is a common mistake in shell scripting.

Ref "man bash", /^ *\@
