I think that would be a needless expenditure of bits. There is always |
| 20 |
HOMEPAGE set in the ebuild for people to query, and that's where people |
| 21 |
should go to get release information. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
If no information is available about the release on the HOMEPAGE, then I |
| 24 |
agree some notes in the ChangeLog would be appropriate. |
