Description Sascha Lucas 2005-02-19 06:41:32 UTC

The news command keeps you informed of news concerning the system. This command has nothing to do with USENET news. It is more like an enhanced motd. Widely used/known on unixes like solaris. I.E. inform users about new software and how to use it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:




this is my first ebuild. you can find it under the URL above (or use http://hal.
wh-stuttgart.de/sascha/sysnews-0.9-r12.ebuild).

(this is an automated message based on filtering criteria that matched this bug)
'EBUILD' is in the KEYWORDS which should mean that there is a ebuild attached 
to this bug.
This bug is assigned to maintainer-wanted which means that it is not in the 
main tree.

Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild 
submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely
manner. There are simply too many new packages.

Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The 
sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to 
commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry 
into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this 
and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =)

Because this is a mass message, we are also asking you to be patient with us. 
We anticipate a large number of requests in a short time. 

Thanks,
On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team,
Jeremy.
