Description Brian Bilbrey 2002-07-03 12:13:22 UTC

Upon running emerge --pretend --update system this morning, I find there are 
five packages requiring update. Today is a good day to see what changes are in 
store before I just install them on general principles. One of the packages 
being updated is Portage, to version 2.0.9. I go to 
/usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/ChangeLog, to see what's up with Portage. Mmmm. 
The most recent entry in the ChangeLog is for version 1.9.13-r1.   
 
ChangeLog entries are actually important to me in terms of evaluating whether 
or not to apply specific updates, when I am being conscientious.  
 
Thanks,

From the top of ChangeLog file that you yourself saw:
