As Ciaran explained below, the paludis overlay has been using them for
a long time, but allow me to elaborate as one who has found these news
items very useful, and who has been very unsatisfied with elog in
general. I love getting information on news items that I can
read at my own leisure via eselect news. For example, a recent news
item in the paludis overlay informed users on how to properly set
everything up for userpriv with paludis-0.22, a description that was far
too detailed for elog, and which I didn't have time to read the very
minute that I installed the new version. What do you know...the next
day I was ready to set things up...and oh look, there was nice,
detailed instructions waiting for me to read with eselect news.
It's easy for you and others in this thread to speculate
without *any* experience here. I really get the feeling that you guys
are talking out of your ass because this is another ciaran/paludis
thread. As has already been pointed out, only paludis users would see
the news item that you are all bitching about, so if you guys don't use
paludis, why do you care? If you happen to maintain packages and you
feel like providing news will piss your users off, then don't provide
it. Experience has shown that paludis users like these news items,
which is another point that you and others are ignoring.
