Maybe I'm too cynical or maybe it's from experience but in either case I can tell you as a developer the change log often reflects what I remember I changed since the last release and is never intended to encompass every change I made to the source. >>From that perspective the change log provides some helpful ideas about what changes were implemented but never represents the complete change list. Making the assumption that it does means that you could end up missing a critical gentoo security/stability fix. Besides, if you schedule your compile times for off hours then you really don't lose anything with the additional compile jobs. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
