[gentoo-user] ebuild ChangeLog and emerge -l
When doing an update using the -l option of emerge, eg: emerge -uDNl world The ChangeLog entries that are displayed seem buggy to me. For example, sometimes a whole page worth of changes from a single ChangeLog is displayed, containing entries for ebuilds older than what is currently installed. Some other times it's less dramatic, but still contains stuff that should not show up. The above seems to be the norm rather than the exception. For example, right now I'm doing an update from llvm-2.9-r1 to llvm-2.9-r2, and emerge prints: *llvm-2.9-r2 23 May 2011; Bernard Cafarelli voyag...@gentoo.org +llvm-2.9-r2.ebuild, +files/llvm-2.9-Operator.h-c++0x.patch: Fix header for gcc 4.6, bug #365925 21 Apr 2011; Fabian Groffen grob...@gentoo.org llvm-2.9-r1.ebuild, llvm-.ebuild: Fix broken reference that I missed yesterday 20 Apr 2011; Fabian Groffen grob...@gentoo.org llvm-2.9-r1.ebuild, llvm-.ebuild: Fix install_name_tooling Is this normal? Bug?

You can also take a look at: /usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/resolver/output_helpers.py It contains the regexp that is used to parse the changelogs and the logic of what is shown and ignored.
