1 A humble request from a user who tracks several of the proj and dev
2 overlays:
3
4 Since there are no lists receiving commit messgaes, trac's timeline
5 rss feed is the only way to keep track (no pun intended) of updates
6 to the various svn-managed overlays, such as on overlays.gentoo.org,
7 sunrise, etc. AFAICT, trac's rss only supports the commit messages
8 and URLs to the diffs.
9
10 Given that, it is impossible to determine what was updated unless
11 each commit message references the ${CATEGORY}/${PN} of each ebuild
12 that said commit changes.
13
14 We users would appreciate it greatly were you devs to be more diligent
15 in mentioning the ${CATEGORY}/${PN} in the commit messages.
16
17 Thank you,
