tracks all issues related to this phase execution order change.
-
* The metadata-transfer feature is now disabled by default. This disables the
"Updating Portage cache" routine that used to run at the tail end of each
`emerge --sync` operation. If you use something like the sqlite module and
that override eclasses from PORTDIR (in this case, you may have disabled
a relevant warning message by setting PORTAGE_ECLASS_WARNING_ENABLE="0" in
make.conf).
-
* The parallel-fetch feature is now enabled by default. It is optimized
to avoid doing redundant checksums for previously downloaded files that have
the correct size. Run `tail -f /var/log/emerge-fetch.log` in a
terminal to view parallel-fetch progress. Add FEATURES="-parallel-fetch"
to /etc/make.conf if you want to disable this feature.
-
* For extra careful dependency handling, emerge has a new --complete-graph
option that causes it to consider the deep dependencies of all packages from
the system and world sets. With this option enabled, emerge will bail out
