That would be a great answer. I look for trips and traps by doing an |
| 9 |
`emerge --pretend --verbose --changelog` every time I sync. |
| 10 |
Unfortunately, changes are often made with no entry in the log. When |
| 11 |
some change has significant effects, it is rare that even a passing |
| 12 |
mention is made regarding the precautions and prerequisites. I'm not |
| 13 |
suggesting yelling-at-the-user style "*** DANGER WILL ROBINSON ***" |
| 14 |
messages, but the terse kind suggested in Mr. Lawson's first message |
| 15 |
would be dandy. |

What he was requesting, additional capability for Portage, probably |
| 21 |
belonged here. On the other hand, a discussion on how to convince devs |
| 22 |
to make use of the existing capabilities would probably be welcome on |
| 23 |
gentoo-dev or, perhaps, gentoo-qa. |
