Almost all of them publish 'errata'. That is why I suggest a single place for all technical info such as the recent apache upgrade: http://errata.gentoo.org/ i.e. Upgrade/migration stuff would go there as opposed to 'fresh install' stuff (which belongs in the normal docs area). I forget who it was, but one of the folks involved in that said that the users overwhelmingly want a *single* place to look for this type of info. You can repost the summaries elsewhere (via a RSS feed to GWN or the mailing list(s) for example), but there should be one place to get all of the info. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDahHd2QTTR4CNEQARAjDnAJ4zdr9K1OyCq1mcJlzp7G8+dB3c1QCgoERR sYquQPGP2IISj+dW7l9jOy4= =t9oR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
