+When a Portage tree is synchronized to your system, Portage might warn you with |
| 57 |
+the following: |
| 58 |
+</p> |
| 59 |
+ |
| 60 |
+<pre caption="Portage informing that news items are available"> |
| 61 |
+ * IMPORTANT: 2 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'. |
| 62 |
+ * Use eselect news to read news items. |
| 63 |
+</pre> |
| 64 |
+ |
| 65 |
+<p> |
| 66 |
+Portage news items were created to provide a communication medium to push |
| 67 |
+critical messages to users via the rsync tree. To manage them you will need to |
| 68 |
+use <c>eselect news</c>. With the <c>read</c> subcommand, you can read all news |
| 69 |
+items. With <c>list</c> you can get an overview of the available news items, and |
| 70 |
+with <c>purge</c> you can remove them once you have read them and have no |
| 71 |
+further need for the item(s) anymore. |
| 72 |
+</p> |
| 73 |
+ |
| 74 |
+<pre caption="Handling Portage news"> |
| 75 |
+# <i>eselect news list</i> |
| 76 |
+# <i>eselect news read</i> |
| 77 |
+</pre> |
| 78 |
+ |
| 79 |
+<p> |
| 80 |
+More information about the newsreader is available through its manual page: |
| 81 |
+<c>man news.eselect</c>. |
