Other thing is, for production, no one NEEDS to upgrade stuff every single day, if it works, it works. If you are a developer then you probably already know how to use CVS, PORTAGE_OVERLAY etc etc and you can put your emerge sync in a cron job at 3:00 in the morning... For sysadmins, it is anyway a good idea to follow the glsa, I put it on my startup page of my browser... Phil -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
