Hello,
Could anyone tell me wether I can run multiple instances of emerge at the same time or not? I guess it depends on how well it loks the portage database?
I'm asking because I'd like to run a big emerge (e.g. mozilla or kde) and then run several smaller ones (e.g. host, pciutils) at the same time so I can get on with configuring and setting up the little bits while the big bits are building.
While I have done it many times before without problems, YMMV. Chances of something going wrong are small, but its not recommended. Like I said, YMMV.
