9 unfotunately this is oftem the case. Right now as I write on my machine
10 if I execute the following.you will see that only the vim updates have a
11 proper release notes right on the front page. Orbit and gnome-vfs point
12 directly to gnome.org where I havent been able to find any release note.
13 (I looked for release notes of ORBit for like more than an hour.... then
14 I posted the message). fileroller website hasnt even announced any such
15 release... only the tarballs available on on gnome (boy is gentoo
16 cutting edge :) ). gaim also doesnt provide any realease note on the web
17 site. I suppose all these packages provide release notes in the source
18 tarball... but thats not very convenient.. it defeats some of the
19 purpose of the gentoo system to download the file and expand just to
20 read the release note.
