To Paludis users, the news > item is not a triviality or noise. To everyone else it's irrelevant. How does it matter exactly whether it's paludis users, gcc users, php users, apache users or whoever else who will use the news item? Let's not misuse news framework for stuff that - it's not been intended for (i.e. do not use it as elog replacement, see GLEP 42) - for trivialities in general For this particular case, you can (and do even) advise specifically the affected users only on runtime that the config files syntax has been changed. (Frankly, you don't even need elog stuff for similar things; everyone concerned will get the message paludis spits on the screen when they try to use it). --=20 Best regards, Jakub Moc mailto:jakub@gentoo.org GPG signature: http://subkeys.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=3Dget&search=3D0xCEBA3D9E Primary key fingerprint: D2D7 933C 9BA1 C95B 2C95 B30F 8717 D5FD CEBA 3= D9E ... still no signature ;) --------------enigFE0A88AD8B421F7CF6A10314 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGPIORhxfV/c66PZ4RA4m+AJ45FQ+0qAASKOQBniv7Mnkl6ghnmACfWlwL RqBOOtc6bmt9JISb3xn0CU8= =2hzI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigFE0A88AD8B421F7CF6A10314-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
