[gentoo-user] fetch then build

[Eric S. Johansson]

I frequently find myself fetching packages then building.  Reading 
through the emerged documentation that does not seem to be any way to do 
both in one step fetch first, and then if successful, fetch second?

I tried:
emerge -fDva world && emerge -uDv world
which only mostly prefetched files (misssed a bunch).  tried F instead 
of F and it missed more and changed what it installed.

ideas?

ps. updating laptop that was idle for 6+ months:  320 packages... a good 
test of my gentoo skills.  so far so good.  you can bet your ass I'm 
backing up /etc before running dispatch-conf...

The result of the duopoly that currently defines "competition" is that
prices and service suck. We're the world's leader in Internet
technology - except that we're not.
