Hey Guys, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I've got an idea to implement package notices, as opposed to |
| 4 |
outputing these important messages to stdout using e{info,warn,error}. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
The idea is VERY simple: write the message to a file (say, |
| 7 |
/var/portage/notices/{P}) and have a utility to read and delete these |
| 8 |
messages. Maybe even build this functionality into etc-config. |
| 9 |
(Maybe mail these messages to a configured address?) |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
For ease-of-use I propose adding a simple wrapper command ("enotice" or |
| 12 |
"notice") that would take care of writing into the correct file. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
If this looks like a good idea I'll move on and punch out the matching |
| 15 |
code. |
