I think the OP is asking for something that just continues without intervention. You would, of course want this command to be nice to dependencies, otherwise you'll break something. I've often wondered about such a feature during emerge world. Especially when it breaks in the first few packages. In a case like this (indent showing dependencies): pkg-a pkg-b pkg-c pkg-d emerge would build in the order pkg-b pkg-a pkg-d pkg-c. If emerge fails during pkg-b, whats to stop it continuing at pkg-d and then pkg-c? cya, --=20 Iain Buchanan Never trust anyone who says money is no object. --=20 gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
