I don't see them when syncing from a cron script, when all output is

I see these messages in the output from my cron "script". I use
"/usr/sbin/emaint sync -a", and it regularly shows the message about
new portage versions.
The message might not be generated by the sync itself, but from the
postsync 'eix-update' which would maybe show messages like this.
I sync daily via git, ...
Then you probably build a lot more than I do.
I synced, like yesterday or the day before, and then, on a second
machine, I synced today, in order to update from the first machine,
using a binary update, and, in fact, I was able to get thunderbird, but
llvm AND clang, both huge builds, had to be rebuilt! Oh man. Bad
luck? No, life with gentoo.
(sorry, Peter, for the direct email, apparently a mis-click)
... and every time a new version of portage is included I
see a prominent warning to update it before anything else. Portage has
done
this for many years, apart from a few months a year or two ago.
