It's slotted and whatever older version will remain the default until uninstalled (so Christian said in a different subthread), so show upon installation should be good, he seems to believe. Also, showing it for earlier versions would display it now, well before it goes stable, and stable users who read it now may well have forgotten about it by the time they actually need it. Thus, setting it to apply only when they've actually installed it is useful. Hmm... I've not looked recently. Is there a mechanism to trigger news on keyword as well as version, so that it becomes visible for ~arch users as soon as it's available to install at ~arch, but only for stable users when it becomes available in stable? It seems such a thing might be useful, particularly if it checked package.keywords as well when that mechanism is triggered. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
