[gentoo-user] Is this a genlop bug?

[Peter Humphrey]

Hello list,

When I run "genlop -c" is it supposed to include the whole cat/pkg name in its 
calculations, or just the pkgname? I saw this today:

$ genlop -c   
 Currently merging 8 out of 16
 * dev-lang/rust-1.29.1 
       current merge time: 13 minutes and 38 seconds.
       ETA: 1 minute and 58 seconds.
$ genlop -t rust | grep second
       merge time: 29 minutes and 26 seconds.
       merge time: 4 seconds.
       merge time: 10 seconds.
       merge time: 32 minutes and 44 seconds.
$ genlop -t dev-lang/rust | grep second
       merge time: 29 minutes and 26 seconds.
       merge time: 32 minutes and 44 seconds.

This looks like a bug to me.

It is not a bug. The manpage says it takes name or category/name. In the former case it has to match anything named rust. There are two packages named exactly 'rust': dev-lang/rust and virtual/rust.

The '-c' parameter doesn't (need to) take either name or category/name
so I don't see how this isn't a bug. Getting an ETA average for more
than one package and comparing it against the currently merging
package makes no sense.
