One thing to remember: Even if old ebuilds are gone in the tree already, they still may be installed on users systems. As a result, 'emerge --changelog' searches for their addition-entries in ChangeLog. So when purging ChangeLog's really becomes necessary, we might need to keep the addition-entries back to until a once-been-stable ebuild was superseded by another stable ebuild more than 1 year ago - or sth. simila= r. my 0.02 [=80$?] /haubi/ --=20 Michael Haubenwallner Gentoo on a different level
