Sounds like a good idea, probably best to talk to tomk how to implement this on the forums, either talk to him directly or drop by in #gentoo-forums. Iirc he's on holiday for a few days right now though. cheers, Wernfried -- Wernfried Haas (amne) - amne at gentoo dot org Gentoo Forums: http://forums.gentoo.org IRC: #gentoo-forums on freenode - email: forum-mods at gentoo dot org pgpd0nAIYYR9k.pgp Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-dev] Removal Announcements (or, "Bring out yer dead")
i'm just browsing the forums, and it seems there's still some complaints about not getting enough notice about packages being removed. i know, there's always going to be someone complaining, but i think there's a couple things we could do to improve the situation. one, the treecleaner team has decided to extend the pmasking period for packages we remove from 30 to 60 days. we hope this'll lessen the surprise factor for those people who do monthly upgrades. this only affects maintainer-needed ebuilds of course. two, we have a perfectly good announce ML that right now is only used for GLSAs, and an announcement forum that is used for GLSAs and major announcements. what do people think about posting last rites to these places, maybe in one post on a weekly basis like the package moves section in the GWN (which BTW is a very welcome addition ;)). what would we have to do to have this happen? i remember during the news GLEP there was discussion about how to get stuff posted to the announce lists, but i'm fuzzy on the details. thoughts, rants, zombie mobs? by design, by neglect dirtyepic gentoo orgfor a fact or just for effect 9B81 6C9F E791 83BB 3AB3 5B2D E625 A073 8379 37E8 (0x837937E8) signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
