Given that this just affects new installs, is a news item (via |
| 28 |
portage) a particularly good way to inform everyone? I was wondering |
| 29 |
if it'd make more sense to notify on the website and *definitely* |
| 30 |
change the Handbook... |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
..and maybe include an '/etc/make.conf.moved' in the stage files for |
| 33 |
the next 6 months which says the above? |
