It is impossible to predict which messages are going to get displayed, |
| 14 |
if your were to upgrade/install a given package (reduces to the |
| 15 |
halting-problem, you know the drill) :-) |
| 16 |
Hence, what you want implemented is impossible to do (so that it works |
| 17 |
in all cases). |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
If you want to know what the important notices you might get, then read |
| 20 |
the ebuild and figure out which ones applies to your system (or actually |
| 21 |
do the upgrade/install). |
