[gentoo-user] Power failure in the middle of emerge --emptytree world

["Mark Knecht" <markknecht@gmail.com>]

Hi,
   A hot summer day blew the power transformer in my backyard. One of
my MythTV frontends was about 2/3 of the way through an emerge
--emptytree world at the time:

1153780822:  === (178 of 280) Post-Build Cleaning

1153781845:  *** terminating.

   What is my best course of action at this point? The machine booted
fine so I could start over. I also saved an old email from Zac Medico
that suggested a command

FEATURES=keepwork emerge --resume

Would this be a good thing to do?

   There are currently 5 files to be dealt with under etc-update.
Should I do those first?

Thanks,
Mark
