This is somewhat on topic I guess. Is there a really good place to find |
| 28 |
out what changes are being made to portage? I subscribe to the dev |
| 29 |
mailing list too but some things get added and I have no clue it is |
| 30 |
there until I run into it like a wall. I sometimes wish there was a |
| 31 |
mailing list, maybe gentoo-portage-feature, that tells us what has been |
| 32 |
added, what they do and even examples of their usages. I know having |
| 33 |
something like this has been discussed but something would be really nice. |

Just curious. |
