How does it matter exactly whether it's paludis users, gcc users, php |
| 15 |
users, apache users or whoever else who will use the news item? Let's |
| 16 |
not misuse news framework for stuff that |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
- it's not been intended for (i.e. do not use it as elog replacement, |
| 19 |
see GLEP 42) |
| 20 |
- for trivialities in general |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
For this particular case, you can (and do even) advise specifically the |
| 23 |
affected users only on runtime that the config files syntax has been |
| 24 |
changed. (Frankly, you don't even need elog stuff for similar things; |
| 25 |
everyone concerned will get the message paludis spits on the screen when |
| 26 |
they try to use it). |
