I am doing my weekly system update, GCC is being pulled in by revdep-rebuild for dev-libs/gmp. I forgot to supply the quiet flag and I have no idea how many are pulled. Didn't pay much attention but I do know two slots of GCC I have both are pulled, and I know GCC takes time to compile. But I really need to know when the emerge began.

So I use qlop and genlop because I still remember they both have such option, just didn't have chance to utilize them.


genlop gives a nice ETA as it can already give you an estimation of emerge time if you pipe the emerge's output to it.

10 more minutes to go... for 4.4.5, still have 4.3.x to be emerged. That would probably be another hour.
