I fully agree here, or in the case of Apache, which my its self is not a |
| 20 |
critical system component, but its is a very important part of many |
| 21 |
user's systems, that is also worthy of a NEWS Item. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
On another note, i'm not exactly sure how this would be implemented, but |
| 24 |
perferably wouldn't the new NEWS Items be best if provided before a |
| 25 |
package upgrade? |
| 26 |
for example |
| 27 |
emerge -avu apache |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
These are the packages that I would merge, in order: |

Calculating dependencies ...done! |

Would you like to read the unread News Item? [Yes/No] |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Do you want me to merge these packages? [Yes/No] |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Of course, running emerge -vu apache shouldn't be stopped, it should |
| 44 |
continue with its own risk. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Thats just one thing i would like to see. |
