Almost all of them publish 'errata'. That is why I suggest a single |
| 19 |
place for all technical info such as the recent apache upgrade: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
http://errata.gentoo.org/ |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
i.e. Upgrade/migration stuff would go there as opposed to 'fresh |
| 24 |
install' stuff (which belongs in the normal docs area). |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I forget who it was, but one of the folks involved in that said that the |
| 27 |
users overwhelmingly want a *single* place to look for this type of |
| 28 |
info. You can repost the summaries elsewhere (via a RSS feed to GWN or |
| 29 |
the mailing list(s) for example), but there should be one place to get |
| 30 |
all of the info. |
