Here's a suggestion for two portage features that I would appreciate. |
2 |
Please tell me if this is the wrong list. |
3 |
|
4 |
I would like to have a system where ebuilds are classified such that |
5 |
when updating a package, I can tell whether this is a security patch or |
6 |
critical bugfix or new feature release or whatever. Thus, I could set up |
7 |
automatic updates that check only for critical patches and do not |
8 |
install every tiny new fancy thing. |
9 |
|
10 |
Also, a system would be nice, where authors of a package or the ebuild |
11 |
maintainers could supply a message to the user along with the ebuild, |
12 |
for example to warn them of massive numbers of reverse dependencies that |
13 |
are going to be broken by the update (-> libexpat! I would have chosen a |
14 |
different time for the update if I had known what I had to update after |
15 |
that). |

Best regards |
