When I'm emerging 'world', sometimes (like today) there are 50 packages that
need to be done. Fine. No problemo. It would be nice to have a screensaver,
or even better, an overlay of some-kind (so I could have my normal OpenGL
screensavers running in the background) that told me the basic statistics.
Then I could leave my box locked and know that stuff is hapily working. As
it is, I have to continually interrupt the screen-saver, login, notice it's
fine, then logout.
* Which # emerge out of total I'm on.
* what stage of this emerge I'm in:
- downloading
- unpacking
- compiling/linking
- installing
- unmerging old package
+ error (this should notify me visualy/audibly)
* If it's downloading, how may bytes (a moving bar would be ideal) it has
out of how many to go.
* if possible, the estimated time to complete the current emerge
* and of course, the estimated time to complete all emerges
Does such a thing exist?
