The common Gentoo user does not know about the user targeted ChangeLogs. If there was an option added to emerge that when the user uses the emerge -u flag it tells them to check the ChangeLog possibly... emerge -pu world These are the packages that I would merge, in order. Please remember to read the ChangeLog prior to upgrading! Calculating world dependencies ...done! [ebuild U ] gnome-base/eel-1.0.2-r3 to / [/usr/portage/gnome-base/eel/ChangeLog] [ebuild U ] app-emulation/winex-20020511-r1 to / [/usr/portage/app-emulation/winex/ChangeLog] [ebuild U ] x11-libs/pango-1.0.3 to / [..] [ebuild U ] dev-libs/glib-2.0.4 to / [..] [ebuild U ] x11-libs/gtk+-2.0.5 to / [..] [ebuild U ] x11-libs/gtk-engines-0.12-r2 to / [..] [ebuild N ] gnome-base/gnome-core-1.4.0.8 to / [..] [ebuild N ] dev-libs/librep-0.15.2-r1 to / [..] [ebuild N ] x11-libs/rep-gtk-0.15-r2 to / [..] [ebuild N ] x11-wm/sawfish-1.0.1-r4 to / [..] [ebuild U ] gnome-base/gnome-1.4-r3 to / [..] [ebuild U ] sys-libs/readline-4.2a to / [..] [ebuild U ] net-im/gaim-0.58-r2 to / [..] Or whatever setup that gets the users out and reading those ChangeLogs!
it wordwrapped unfortunately but you get the idea where the /path/to/ChangeLog should be based on the [..]'s below.
this one is marked as the dup because Bug 6124 does a better job of actually handling ChangeLogs and stuff *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 6124 ***
