I agree; that would be an excellent idea. I would, however, at least be |
9 |
in favor of portage printing something in red at the end of an emerge |
10 |
stating that the file had been updated and needed to be looked at; |
11 |
better, if it would print the (newly added) contents of the file. Some |
12 |
of the messages printed are about crucial things that need to be done, |
13 |
often configuration changes; leaving them to be read only if one feels |
14 |
like it might leave people thinking that the messages there don't apply |
15 |
to them. |
