No, 'emerge --resume' is lame. It doesn't do what you're thinking it does. What you want is:
ebuild <path to last ebuild that was worked on> merge should do the trick -- at least for the last package that was worked on. To find the last ebuild that was worked on, check /var/log/emerge.log... it'll be one of the last lines in the file. After that, you should be able to just issue the original emerge command, and it should pick up where it left off. > -----Original Message----- > From: Tamas Sarga [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2005 4:20 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [gentoo-user] resume emerge after reboot > > Hi, > > I'd like to do an emerge -e world.
