Hello all, [Speaking as user] I find myself many times stumbling through package ChangeLogs to see what is new/changed after a emerge -u world. As some of you might agree, this is time consuming.
What do you people think on a new pkg_changelog function that would instruct the ebuild how to retrieve this kind of information from the package? Most of packages have a somewhat standard place for it in the source tree, so I guess a default pkg_changelog function could, in theory, be implemented. This function could be then called at user request by means of e.g. emerge --showchangelog <atom> or at the end of emerge update (controlled through a FEATURES="show-changelog" or something). I know we are all busy with a lot of things and I know what Gentoo don't really need right now is more cruft in the ebuilds (just think on QA!).
