Hi Juergen, |

I haven't seen this myself yet, searching on bugs.gentoo.org hasn't |
| 7 |
shown me any known bugs. |

I assume you are talking about the net-dialup/rp-pppoe package - since |
| 9 |
you don't mention that in your email it's not easy to know what exactly |
| 10 |
happened there. In fact, your email is one of the less helpful ways of |
| 11 |
communicating a problem. Next time when you have a problem please try to |
| 12 |
describe it in detail, then we don't have to guess and can help you much |
| 13 |
better. |

The gentoo-dev mailinglist is not used for "small" bug discussion, the |
| 16 |
mail volume would be prohibitive. bugs.gentoo.org and IRC (#gentoo, |
| 17 |
#gentoo-bugs on irc.freenode.net) are usually much better for finding |
| 18 |
help. |

The best way to find out about changes would be reading the Changelogs |
| 21 |
provided by all Gentoo ebuilds. Usually disruptive changes are described |
| 22 |
there, so if you read the Changelog before updating you should be safe. |
| 23 |
Often changes are announced in the Gentoo Weekly Newsletter, the forums |
| 24 |
may also be useful. |

Some time ago we had a discussion about the problem of getting updates |
| 27 |
to users - you should be able to find it in the archives (dir.gmane.org |
| 28 |
and marc.theaimsgroup.com (?) have a web-interface for just that). |

Hope that helps, |
