emerge progress info (package count)

[Small_Penguin]

When emerging packages, the progress is written as 'emerge (3 of 1400)'. Are these numbers available as environment variables that I can use e.g. in /etc/portage/bashrc?

Looks like you cannot access those numbers from portage's bashrc.

Portage's bashrc is more targeted to perform actions inside package functions, not in the emerge process (which runs the former).

So basically we're looking at emerge here to provide these values.

Then there's a hacky way to tail -F /var/log/emerge.log and parse it on-the-fly. qlop does parse emerge.log. Does it already provide what you need?

Pity, but I've already expected it. I am already using qlop to get the average time to merge a package, notifying me of merges that will take longer than a few minutes via ntfy.sh. I can probably hook in another call to qlop in there, it's a fine tool btw, better than genlop which I've been using for a long time.
