ETA: 1 hour, 4 minutes and 24 seconds. ### Then, once the update finished: # genlop -t libreoffice | /bin/grep minute merge time: 37 minutes and 38 seconds. merge time: 52 minutes and 59 seconds. merge time: 46 minutes and 17 seconds. merge time: 38 minutes and 40 seconds. I know genlop is, shall we say, not perfect, but how can it be so grossly wrong as that? I have this in make.conf, and it hasn't changed since I built the machine: grep '\-j' /etc/portage/make.conf EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--jobs --load-average=12 MAKEOPTS="-j12 -l12" -- Regards, Peter.
