i dont know if this has been suggested before, but some sort of progress indicator for the compilation process of emerging ebuilds would be nice, would be alot less guessing as to how long you have to wait for things to compile for ya  . |

How's emerge supposed to *know* how much time is remaining?

For instance, by measuring the length of the logfile (preferably in lines, not bytes) and comparing it to a known reference value. Ebuild authors may provide that. This is crude, but hyopefully will be in the right ballpark.
Of course it depends on your USE flags and probably other variables. One may simplify things and assume that each USE flag is responsible for its own section of the build which is independent from all other flags, so ebuild authors only need to measure each flag separately. I don't know what to do with other variables  |

| ahh ok, how about an approximate compilation time note when you do an emerge -s packagename? |

This depends on your CPU, mobo, memory, disk, CFLAGS and whatnot. What takes 3 minutes on your machine could well take 30 on mine. |
