Hello list,
I've just encountered something I can't explain. Can anyone here?
~ $ genlop -c -f /mnt/rescue/var/log/emerge.log
using logfile /mnt/rescue/var/log/emerge.log
Currently merging 281 out of 287
* net-libs/gnutls-3.3.24
current merge time: 1 minute and 44 seconds.
ETA: less than a minute.
Currently merging 264 out of 287
* sys-devel/gcc-4.9.3
current merge time: 7 minutes and 12 seconds.
ETA: 3 minutes and 13 seconds.
$ genlop -c -f /mnt/rescue/var/log/emerge.log
using logfile /mnt/rescue/var/log/emerge.log
Currently merging 264 out of 287
* sys-devel/gcc-4.9.3
current merge time: 15 minutes and 19 seconds.
ETA: 3 minutes and 41 seconds.
How is it possible for genlop's reported ETA to increase while its time
spent so far also increases? Could the concurrent gnutls merging have
affected it? Surely not.
Nothing else was running, apart from some file copying between external
disks.
