Hi folks.
I'm doing a fresh install onto another hard drive. Just felt like doing
a fresh one instead of copying. Anyway, I got most everything
installed. I was doing my last set of installs, things like seamonkey,
firefox, pigdin, gtkam and all the other programs I use for this and
that. I did copy my old make.conf over from the old install. I have
the --keep-going option in there. Who wants to start a LARGE emerge to
have it stop for some package that isn't a big deal?
I'm sure people have heard of googleearth and the file size mismatch
problem. I thought it was fixed since I have not had the issue in a
good while. Anyway, it appears it wasn't fixed. Portage stopped
because of this package and while it should be finished, it now has
about another 7 hours of compile time.
Can someone explain to me why it stopped instead of finishing with the
other packages? Googleearth is not a library and nothing else depends
on it either. It failing is not a issue. I would much rather portage
to have emerged the rest then told me googleearth was having its usual
bad hair day.
Is there another option I can use that I don't know about?
Thanks.
Dale
