See > forum topic http://forums.gentoo.org/blah... How about adding: ADVICE="Menu editing disabled until follow-up release. Work-around is to install Python 4 + smeg. See forum topic http://forums.gentoo.org/blah..." to the gnome-menus-2.10.0 ebuild (sorry Chris, no parsing needed :} ). It'd be trivial to knock up a widget to extract and display this data, and I'd guess trivial to add an '--advice' option to emerge to do the same. Perhaps it'd be simpler just to include it alongside the changelog data with the '--changelog' option. Of course such advice could be just written into the changelog in the first place...
