Description Julian Ospald 2015-08-20 23:25:09 UTC

More specifically: news are checked in between repo.postsync.d/ and postsync.d/

So if you pull the news manually into your tree in postsync.d/ hooks, this will sort of mess up expected behavior.

This is creating minor annoyance for our postsync.d hooks https://github.com/hasufell/portage-gentoo-git-config/pull/6 which help to run the gentoo tree directly from git.
