Peep Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 I've emerged x.org and evilwm and am sitting here as KDE begins its monumental compilation. Is it harmful to open another terminal and emerge some smaller program at the same time? I already tried it (I did an "emerge cowsay") and there weren't any obvious conflicts, but I don't want to make a habit of this if it will break things. As always, thanks for the help :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystified Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 I run more than one emerge at a time. I'm just careful that there are no conflicts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ac_dispatcher Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 (edited) I dont do it. But it seems OK so long as you dont have a dependency issue Have is a blurb from the Gentoo Forum http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=2...multiple+emerge Edited August 25, 2004 by ac_dispatcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peep Posted August 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 wow, I guess I was using the wrong keywords when I searched that forum... it's a bit embarassing to miss an exact answer to my question posted only a few days ago :o instead of emerging other stuff, maybe i'll just try to sleep through the rest of KDE's emerge process :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 bah. You can emerge smaller stuff while KDE is emerging, so long as none of them conflict with dependancies, as mysti said. I've emerged more than one program many times and never had any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 IF you use "sandbox" in your FEATURES ---> make.conf Everything will be all better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
