I'm saying that /usr/portage/news should be the *official* source where users should go to find the info. http://erata.g.o would be a secondary source, that while officially supported, is not the main source. The reason is that errata.g.o would not be able to offer the same user experience as emerge --news would. errata.g.o does NOT know about the local system (nor should it), and thus might be bloated with unneeded information. When I'm working at updating a system, I'm not interested in knowing that winex-cvs has been removed at transgaming's request (old news, as example). If however I was someone using winex-cvs, I'd be very interested. See the point. Paul -- Paul de Vrieze Gentoo Developer Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://www.devrieze.net
