hi, if you find your time would you mind pointing your eyes on bug 262010 [1]. There is interesting idea about loging usefull informations about repository for further usage (that thing i find interesting and already implemented [2]).
But in comment 4 user ask about updates itself. If we have live package and revision does not change it is pointless waste of resources to recompile it usualy. So i am asking if it is worth to implement some LIVE_FORCE_BUILD:bool where user specify if he wants recompile the package or not and if LIVE_FORCE_BUILD is set to false and nothing changes all relevant phases are skipped with something like: elog "Doing nothing because we are UP-TO-DATE already." which might result in faster emerge @live-rebuild for example because not every package is needed to be updated.
