Howdy, I do my updates in a chroot. When it is done in the chroot, I copy the packages over to my main OS and install with -k and it keeps my running OS more stable. There is one problem tho. When I do that, the emerge times for installing the packages with -k, which is a LOT faster, are also recorded in the emerge.log file. When I use genlop -c to see how much longer a compile is going to take, it makes the results of genlop way off. A package that may take a hour to compile can install as a binary in a couple minutes. Poor genlop gets confused. Did the emerge take a couple minutes or a hour?
Is there a way that I can stop emerge from logging the package installs with -k? Some little known option? I also thought about copying the emerge.log file over from the chroot after I complete the -k update on my main install. Not logging the -k update would be the same result. Thing is, I forget to do it. It would be nice if I could use a emerge option but does anyone see a problem with this way? Dale :-) :-) P. S. Got my tractor back together and even bladed a driveway this morning. It's doing a LOT better but I want to rebuild the other side pretty soon. No leaks and no parts left over.
