Not really a good idea, a) because news items aren't tied directly to ebuilds, and b) because people like advance warning of "when you upgrade Apache, all hell will break loose!" rather than having it sprung on them suddenly when they're trying to do a quick update. Getting the news item in advance allows for planning. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Shell tools, Fluxbox, Cron) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm --Signature_Tue__1_Nov_2005_12_48_06_+0000_M=PSO7l0dNk7bUOY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDZ2QI96zL6DUtXhERAiL0AKDCuzj8puyeLwirN8u9Or7Q7QzEXQCgnMs3 aPS67q7OIs/9hGdbU958q1o= =reFt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature_Tue__1_Nov_2005_12_48_06_+0000_M=PSO7l0dNk7bUOY-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
