KDE-CVS ebuilds - how to keep the work?

djmaze

Is it possible to keep compiled files after emerging kdebase-5, for example?
It is no fun having to re-compile the whole package if only a few files changed from the last cvs update.

It should be that way that only files which changed in CVS should be compiled again.

Another question: I'd like to have KDE-CVS on my laptop. Is it possible to have emerge make tbz2's of kdebase-5, kdelibs-5 etc.?
qpkg doesn't work.

For your second question, take a look at /usr/bin/quickpkg , a command from portage.ebuild which makes a tbz2 from one choosen installed ebuild.

ccache should be able to do this for you.

I am currently having the same error as the one mentioned above; i.e., docbook blahblahblah

Would you please let me know how you fixed the issue?

Thanks in advance

But be aware that the ccache feature does not work together with userpriv.

I believe I posted on the wrong thread...

Thanks for your tips!
ccache helps a lot if the cache size is big enough.

Also, I added "buildpkg" to my USE flags. Now emerge does automagically create tbz2's of my kde-cvs packages!
That's really great!
