I like this idea. Gentoo displays messages after every emerge run, for example: * IMPORTANT: 1 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'. * Use eselect news to read news items. When you type "eselect news", it considers the news read and stops displaying this message. We could have something similar: at the end of every run, the package tool would check if all the news have been read and display a notification if necessary. _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
