And how are you going to accomplish that assuming that you deliver a |
| 15 |
trimmed down ChangeLog version? Would emerge -l fetch the full |
| 16 |
changelog over the inet? And why do you even want to see the full history of |
| 17 |
the package? Nobody cares about the ebuild changes that occurred in 2005. |

And if he does, this is just a corner case, and sources.g.o is your friend. |
