How about first making a list of all files needing to be rebuilt with
something like

emerge -pDuNv @world > builds

Then make a file "long" containing names of demanding builds like firefox
and qtwebengine, one to a line.

Finally, execute

grep -f long builds

which will print the names of those long builds if they're due for
rebuilding or upgrading.

I was wondering.   Is there a way to highlight certain packages that are<br>
about to be upgraded?   Example, I like to know when some larger packages<br>
like Firefox, LOo, that excessively long qt package and a couple others<br>
are going to be upgraded.   Some that are listed in the world file show<br>
up in a darker green and are easier to see however, some are not. They<br>
are dependencies of another package but I&#39;d like to have them stick out<br>
in the list of packages to be upgraded.   I don&#39;t recall ever seeing<br>
anyone mention this as a feature of emerge or heard of a way to<br>
configure such a thing either.   That said, it could be possible and just<br>
not well known.  <br>
<br>
I&#39;d like to be able to have those packages show up as red or something<br>
like that.   If it is possible.  <br>
<br>
Thoughts?   Ever heard of such a thing?<br>
