Incorrect. Right now, readers should ignore news-blah.unread and only pay attention to news.unread.

Sure there is. there's no metadata/ directory in overlays. | Nope, which is why news.read shouldn't be specified. news.read is specified because there was demand for it the last time around. It's staying specified because the reasons given were based upon convincing use cases rather than random speculation. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (I can kill you with my brain) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
