I know that all packages should have Changelogs, but I also think that emerge should cope with the possibility that they might. I have the kde-cvs ebuilds in /usr/local/portage/ and they don't come with ChangeLog files. Arguably this is a flaw in those ebuilds, I suppose. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install kde-cvs ebuilds in portage overlay directory 2. do `emerge -up kdepim --changelog` (assuming you have kde installed already) Actual Results: $ emerge -up kdepim --changelog These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!
