• [gentoo-user] Pre-emerge checks are pointless.

    From Alan Grimes@21:1/5 to All on Sat Dec 21 00:40:02 2024
    I'm trying to drag through a pass of emerge --emptytree world and I hit
    a block of 50 failures, the only way to get through these is to
    skipfirst through each one... I'm a gentoo user so therefore I'm a
    massochist so I just have to sacrifice a few dozen hours with uparrow
    -enter every few minutes. But EACH AND EVERY TIME I do this, it does
    pre-emerge checks for packages that it doesn't even reach to try to
    emerge... I mean the package is just going to fail anyway along with
    these other packages so doing a pre-emerge check is just wasting my damn
    time as it is running about 30 checks none of which have any effect, or
    any real point at all. I guess with a fundamentally massochistic user
    base, the maintainers had to be as sadistic as they could possibly be... =\
