Bug 373009 – emerge --changelog does not show top-most log entries

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Alec Meyers 2011-06-25 17:14:04 UTC]

I was affected by a build-time bug in firefox, which was recently fixed. After a sync, I wanted to check if I had the updated ebuild, so I ran emerge with the "--changelog" option. However, even though it was updated, the new log entry did not show up.


Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
# emerge -al firefox

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

There current code displays cuts at the "*firefox-5.0" version marker. I think we should make it go past that can cut before the next version marker (or the top of the file if there's no newer version).

Any progress on this?

I hit this problem again today with media-libs/libmp4v2:
