Nice, I need to edit those files then.
Nice, I need to remember this, the password prompt stalls my installs all the time.
I didn't know that. I will have to try that out. Thanks.
Do you know how to know what packages are those that last forever to compile?
Often if there is a -bin version of a package, it is a precompiled binary and will not need to be compiled from scratch. As a general rule, the -bin version of the packages are usually preferred when available.
Yes, Im aware. Thanks anyway.
Uhh depends on your rig I guess. I build the various emulators from git and some of them like vita3k can take awhile.
But for me its more about being able to leave the update unattended, knowing that when I come back they will all be done and I can close the terminal window.
Nice!
