Hi Juergen, I haven't seen this myself yet, searching on bugs.gentoo.org hasn't shown me any known bugs. I assume you are talking about the net-dialup/rp-pppoe package - since you don't mention that in your email it's not easy to know what exactly happened there. In fact, your email is one of the less helpful ways of communicating a problem. Next time when you have a problem please try to describe it in detail, then we don't have to guess and can help you much better. The gentoo-dev mailinglist is not used for "small" bug discussion, the mail volume would be prohibitive. bugs.gentoo.org and IRC (#gentoo, #gentoo-bugs on irc.freenode.net) are usually much better for finding help.=20 The best way to find out about changes would be reading the Changelogs provided by all Gentoo ebuilds. Usually disruptive changes are described there, so if you read the Changelog before updating you should be safe. Often changes are announced in the Gentoo Weekly Newsletter, the forums may also be useful. Some time ago we had a discussion about the problem of getting updates to users - you should be able to find it in the archives (dir.gmane.org and marc.theaimsgroup.com (?) have a web-interface for just that). Hope that helps, Patrick --=20 Stand still, and let the rest of the universe move --=-IN4dvAt7qC9fdaoq/4ml Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2-ecc0.1.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBELR3uqER3hOUoZM4RAvgOAJ4g/nQ5HGEXQEqjJlzWKjm/41BhlgCffXRy T8YaOYmtninxE4oOokdle4g= =8Kny -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-IN4dvAt7qC9fdaoq/4ml-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
