[gentoo-dev] GLEP 42 (Critical News Reporting) round five

[Ciaran McCreesh]

Ok, new draft. Changes are as follows:

* mysql-4.1, not -5.

* Added einfo, ewarn to the list of methods currently used

* Added + and : to the allowed news item IDs, to match package name
policy (Kugelfang thought we might need, say, a libstdc++ news item at
some point)

* Changed /var/lib/portage to /var/lib/gentoo

* The news file is now named 'news-magic-chicken.*'. News clients are
to use a wildcard rather than hardcoding magic-chicken.

* Added emerge --ask thingie

* news.read is now mandatory for interactive clients, and ignored for
gateway clients
