This feature should only be used for things that are directly related > to the tree, and will cause mass breakage if ignored. > I fully agree with this statement. I am behind the adoption of the GLEP only if it does what (I originally believed) was its purpose...to get CRITICAL news regarding package upgrades..etc. If a user wants to know what's going on with the developers..they can subscribe to this -dev list. If a user wants to know how to NOT break his system by performing an 'emerge -u world' portage should tell them. -- Mint Shows Office of Information Technology University of Mississippi mint@olemiss.edu (662) 915-5222
