Display-If-Installed: <sys-apps/paludis-0.24 Pretty reliable for this case which affects only users upgrading from previous versions to >=0.24. How likely is that someone has had such version previously, then uninstalled paludis completely leaving config files around, and now installs >=0.24? So likely it's worth that future fresh installs of say 0.50 will display this news too? - -- Vlastimil Babka (Caster) Gentoo/Java -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGO7oitbrAj05h3oQRAtshAKCCJeVQ2ksDuIvX8eLGjZsxAlDxFACeNea1 Iep1M7QGhWnSfHP4drZg3rw= =nabr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
