Please keep in mind that this can become quite annoying if you have to update many machines that are equally configured and have the same set of packages installed. If you really want to implement this feature please give the advanced users the chance to override it someway. The timing is still off on this, because news items trigger when the *installed* package meets the version and not the *visible* package. So you'll emerge openrc, have news items, and you can go on to ignore them, reboot, and break stuff. The news item would depend on baselayout-1. (Why would you bother users which already are at baselayout-2?) Wouldn't it be solved by making openrc news item to appear when baselayout-*1* is installed instead of after "2" is there? (a bit like we do with gnome stuff news items) |
