| Like I said in a previous email, 'gentoo' corresponds to |
| 7 |
| 'magic-chicken' in your news-magic-chicken.unread files. The news |
| 8 |
| reader app gets the repo identifier from the news-*.unread files and |
| 9 |
| plugs that into portageq to get the directory where the corresponding |
| 10 |
| new items can be found. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
This still leaves us with the "what are the identifiers and how do we |
| 13 |
use them?" problem, except that it moves it deeper down into the "how |
| 14 |
do I determine whether this news item is relevant?" area. And the only |
| 15 |
way to get around that would be to move even more code into Portage |
| 16 |
than you're already proposing. |
