Emerge Estimated Times

I do not know how something like this would be accomplished, but would it be possible to build into the emerge:

A. Progress Bar
B. Estimated Time to Completion?

My thought for the day.

it's hard to tell how long something is going to take to emerge. It all depends on your make.conf and your personal computer. I don't know if there is a way to have a progress bar or anything. I'm sure that if there was an easy way to do it there would be an estimated time or somthing already with the emerge progress.

This may be rediculous (Oriellies: Most rediculous item of the day

), but:

First: Run some type of app that determines speed of proc
Second: Create estimate on number of libraries to compile and total size of app

I am not a c programmer so I do not know if this makes sense. Just a rediculous idea maybe.

It depends on the code that's being compiled so I don't think it's possible to have a good time estimate.

See this:
Emerge Progressbar

Its by a user called duff, I have followed the instructions and it works great - an emerge progress bar!

It installed and runs perfectly, although I have a feeling development has stopped on it.
