It always breaks things. < sighs > Hmm, the behaviour for me has always seemed to be: don't count packages that haven't been emerged previously, and if the last package emerge spits out is unknown to genlop, then abort and don't print an estimate. Really annoying.

I've seen slight (tens of seconds) discrepancies between the build times given by genlop and qlop during a build, and on occasion have seen qlop reset its counter weirdly, though maybe this happened in the install phase: $ qlop -c * mail-client/evolution-2.30.2-r1 started: Sat Sep 25 15:38:23 2010 elapsed: 15 minutes, 54 seconds chroot: / $ genlop -c Currently merging 59 out of 76 * mail-client/evolution-2.30.2-r1 current merge time: 1 hour, 21 minutes and 36 seconds. ETA: unknown. In any case, that was a while ago :). Cheers, Bryan
