Any help that you can give is great. I am not against the ideas in this |
| 9 |
GLEP. It's are good ideas. However, you cannot push something that is |
| 10 |
not there, and you cannot say you *have* to push it because other ways |
| 11 |
don't work -- ways which aren't yet explored. News items as described |
| 12 |
have never been published before, IMHO, and hence the effect of |
| 13 |
un-filtered, un-personalised publishing of these news items is *not* |
| 14 |
known. I would priorise on getting them published somehow, and in the |
| 15 |
meanwhile continue on this GLEP from another perspective: "personalising |
| 16 |
news messages based on the user's portage". Such GLEP can elaborate |
| 17 |
much more on support for mailing automatically to root or another user, |
| 18 |
pushing forcibly on the screen or reading via 'news-update', just to |
| 19 |
suit every installation/user scenario that we can dream up. |

It also is in the two separate issues that you snipped from my previous |
| 22 |
mail. |

I think we're not going to agree here, so to prevent any more lengthy |
| 25 |
discussions over gentoo-dev on this topic, you can contact me off-list. |
