In this case we know the answer is yes. No one answered my question asked in Message-ID: <20070505090630.GA14287@superlupo.rechner> what paludis actually does in case it encounters a config file using the old syntax so far, but as long it doesn't break the system, it doesn't need a news item. GLEP 42 talks about critical, really important news, not just useful ones. Imho the whole GLEP process is being abused to define some scenario to get the support for news, and then push it through for stuff way outside the boundaries defined in the GLEP. cheers, Wernfried --=20 Wernfried Haas (amne) - amne (at) gentoo.org http://forums.gentoo.org || http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/proctors/ forum-mods (at) gentoo.org || proctors (at) gentoo.org #gentoo-forums || #gentoo-proctors (freenode) --Dxnq1zWXvFF0Q93v Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGPMAeK/GNBBblp4ARAqCBAJ0RerSSgawfrTUOKc+KsJacGh3zTgCdFpDW OznpAtJrU6vaLlNZzjWLD70= =22zs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Dxnq1zWXvFF0Q93v-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
