The news | reader app gets the repo identifier from the news-*.unread files and | plugs that into portageq to get the directory where the corresponding | new items can be found. This still leaves us with the "what are the identifiers and how do we use them?" problem, except that it moves it deeper down into the "how do I determine whether this news item is relevant?" area. And the only way to get around that would be to move even more code into Portage than you're already proposing. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (I can kill you with my brain) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm --Sig__00SbKhLCZl4FAdRwT3Mzk1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDoz8796zL6DUtXhERAjuiAKCNI3T/gpja70EvWxA6Iv2L57XhxwCdES9Y WMDAQqLTdcbP2DJqrPtATaM= =LkCs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig__00SbKhLCZl4FAdRwT3Mzk1-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
