This argument sucks; if the tool is problematic... fix the tool. Simple example, why is is it interactive? Add a -m <message> option to it; no longer have to watch it, just fire the command in a term (or in screen) w/ the message given to it already. Beyond that... I suspect *everyone* would appreciate optimization done to echangelog. From a quick look... seems like it's cvs status, than a cvs diff. Trying to collapse that into a single op, falling back to status might not be a bad thing (or parallelizing the requests so the slowness of cvs doesn't cause sequentially stack up). Either way.. fix the tool, rather than just doing the wrong thing. > So not only they are rather useless, and information you can easily get > from sources.gentoo.org, they take your time as well. I think the dial up users would have a real issue with your "easily get from sources.g.o" statement- same for users like myself when I'm in public transit/flying/working somewhere than work and at home (I actually do use those logs when I'm checking depgraph/pcheck issues). Either way, fix the tool, or prove that the tool can't go any faster, and *then* it's a potential discussion. Right now it really isn't, imo. ~brian
