Where does it say anything about a central web repository for the docs in question? Where does it specify the format of those? It doesn't. It assumes that all Gentoo officially cares about is the emerge --news output. Any external docs can live anywhere in any format. Users have asked for a central location for these documents and the transient nature of your current local portage tree doesn't give that. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDa5cY2QTTR4CNEQARAhBcAJ4oT9Wwf5ohK4prQgDSQNGCKoE3WwCeNCct C16jLYYC4zKemRdzcJFNrr4= =IQ1Y -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
