Compelling - I tend to agree. It'd be nice if some python-wise
individual(group) wrote a tool that could interact with the portage api
enough to get the update list to see what would be updated, then parse
the changelogs - separate from portage, but interacting just enough to
know what's on the list for upgrades/downgrades/reinstalls. Of course,
this still wouldn't account for the massive developer tax effort for
rewriting changelogs to adapt to the tool - or remembering to write
changelogs with new markers.
ick. nice ideas, but tough to enact i think.
