RTFM - that's always a good hint - but how often and when do i have to RTFM? and if i read it today and already read it yesterday, then what changed since yesterday? Somehow i always get to know the changes, but it's hard to follow! That's all i'm saying - and in addition, there is the old "messages printed by the ebuilds scroll by and are read by almost nobody"-thing that was partly improved by some tools that record those messages (which IMHO is not satisfying, because i'd like to see some special mechanism so that the writer of the ebuild can notify root of some tasks that have to be performed) -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
