If it is worth anything, I personally find the Changelogs in the portage tr= ee very hard to read: - listing lots of filenames on one line clutters the entry and makes it har= d to distinguish if there is anything of interest on the line - the filenames of affected ebuilds start after the name of the author of t= he entry, which very often changes the position of the filename and makes it hard to jump from entry to entry - the syntax is not what other packages use, or at least neither vim nor xe= macs highlight it properly (same goes for the kernel changelog, but at least i= t is readable; removing the indent makes for a better highlighting) - if there are multiple changes in a single entry, they are hard to distringuish because all the text is just thrown there In case I am way out of line, accept my apologies, because I didn't follow = the thread. --=20 *) Georgi Georgiev *) Don't steal; thou'lt never thus compete *) (* chutz@gg3.net (* successfully in business.
