[gentoo-portage-dev] emerge progress meter

[Andrew Gaffney]

I know there has been talk in the past about having a feature in portage that will just 
display a progress meter during compilation of a package, instead of the 'make' output. 
One idea was to walk the source tree and process the Makefile's to determine how many 
'make' operation would need to be done and using that to determine compilation progress. 
Has anyone got any working code? If not, I'm starting on a proof-of-concept wrapper script 
in Perl just to see how it can be done.

I know working code exists, because I tried it out a few months ago. The only 
reference I could find now (not sure if it's the same one I used before, or 
if this one even works) is 
http://lists.linux.it/pipermail/bglug/2003-December/004774.html - look at the 
quoted part in English. I can't find the orig message quoted here, but 
haven't tried very hard. Perhaps inside the sources linked from there 
(http://www.ces.clemson.edu/~eduffy/emerge-progress.tar) there's more info.

HTH,
