I can't imagine anyone who missed those messages before will read the now, just because we added a sleep and maybe even beeps to it. IMHO those messages are only missed during emerge -u/e world, because you probably won't sit there hours or days, waiting for some important message, but hey... You still don't sit there if it beeps and sleeps! -- Markus Nigbur Gentoo Developer http://www.gentoo.org --Signature=_Mon__3_Nov_2003_17_36_12_+0100_nlsADLVIqs/FiKeW Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/poP88vunf3B9+MERAnLKAJ4uTWHqyPwCJuctl9j732rUkfUh/QCfTegm BLGJUaOXbtNhJEaUR+177fg= =iLF3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature=_Mon__3_Nov_2003_17_36_12_+0100_nlsADLVIqs/FiKeW--
