Subject: [gentoo-dev] Why Glep42 news can't be used yet

1 Disclaimer: This has nothing to do with the recent disussion about he
2 paludis news item except that it was used as testcase.

4 Apparently the `eselect news` module (which is the suggested
5 default news reader) requires paludis to be installed and configured, a
6 quick test resulted in errors when trying with
7 a) paludis not installed
8 b) paludis installed but not configured
9 and the code doesn't seem to have any support for portage at this time
10 (checked version was eselect-1.0.9).

12 This is reported as bug 177325.
13 Until that is fixed I'd say that the glep 42 news facilities may not
14 be used in repositories that are primarily used by portage users (and
15 that includes gentoo-x86). Don't know if the existing item should be
16 allowed as an exception due to the intended audience or not.

23 In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be
24 Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better.
