Since this mail went out, I could not find an explanation of how to get the changelogs back with regular emerge --sync over rsync. Searching the wiki raised no answer or links with outdated information. Playing with repos.conf lead nowhere except to complaints that the gentoo-repo-changelog had the same name than gentoo-portage. I tried asking #gentoo-dev but the best answer I was given was to switch to git clone and to generate the changelogs myself. Problem is, I am not always on a dev machine or on a machine that can spare these CPU cycles so it does not seem appropriate. Is there any way to get this back that doesn't involve extra operations over emerge --sync ? -- Gilles Dartiguelongue <e...@gentoo.org>
