How does it matter exactly whether it's paludis users, gcc users, php users, apache users or whoever else who will use the news item? Let's not misuse news framework for stuff that - it's not been intended for (i.e. do not use it as elog replacement, see GLEP 42) - for trivialities in general For this particular case, you can (and do even) advise specifically the affected users only on runtime that the config files syntax has been changed. (Frankly, you don't even need elog stuff for similar things; everyone concerned will get the message paludis spits on the screen when they try to use it). -- Best regards, Jakub Moc mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG signature: http://subkeys.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xCEBA3D9E Primary key fingerprint: D2D7 933C 9BA1 C95B 2C95 B30F 8717 D5FD CEBA 3D9E ... still no signature ;)
