No need for imagination here.... you can do much of that today with: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
emerge --changelog -p -u world |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
That sniffs the current Changelog file, and occasionally picks up information |
| 21 |
about more revisions than it really should. An easily parsed format for |
| 22 |
changelogs containing extra change metadata would definitely be nice. |
