At the end of a successfull emerge, emerge notifies about etc files to be updates. I think this should be followed by 3 colorfull messages informing about notices: - a green reporting there are messages (if any) - a yellow to report about warnings (if any) - a red reporting about important messages (if any) Too many people have problems that have fixes in enotices; too many people fill forums and IRC with trivial bugs, and too many people forget to read enotices ... and too many roots are not even aware they exist ! I remember my yought when I was frustrated to see those messages fade away in the terminal history, and that it took me weeks before I understand and discover those few tools to get them back. I think the enotice archive should be a default feature of the distro, and that a successfull emerge should show a colorfull warning about them: - that there are some to read - how to read them as for etc-update ...
