FWIW, I appreciate notices like this. As an end user, I only know that I'll need to build the ~dozen or so packages `emerge -pvuD world` lets me know about. Anything that lets me know that I need to allocate time for (and factor in the risk of) rebuilding all of, say, GNOME is good. I don't know that GLEP 42 items are the most appropriate way of doing this, but they seem to be the best way, at present. Similarly for updates where there's any sort of upgrade guide or manual process required (e.g., TeX live, Gnome 2.22, GCC, &c.), as there's no indication from emerge output that such a guide exists. > Display-If-Installed: media-libs/jpeg "<media-libs/jpeg-7", perhaps? -- ...jsled http://asynchronous.org/ - a=jsled; b=asynchronous.org; echo $...@${b}
