Personally I am a fan of plain text approach myself. However, in the event |
10 |
that XML is the way to go, I would suggest that emerge contain the ability |
11 |
to show that ChangeLog in plaintext with an argument. |

For example, say I wanted to check out the ChangeLog for the gaim instant |
14 |
messenger program. I could do something like "emerge --changelog gaim" |
15 |
and this would just show me the ChangeLog in plain text. |
