>=20

Ah found it in the GLEP:
"The package manager filters the news item and, if it is relevant, marks
the news item for reading. The package manager should also display a
notice informing the user that there are unread news items."

This means that adding a >=3Dmessage is useless as it gets filtered away
at the first sync. Use elog instead.

Petteri
