Uhm... emerge sync is a *bad* time to display upgrade messages, it's simply irrelevant at that time, I'm not upgrading anything at the moment and might not be upgrading for next week or so. The messages should be displayed when I'm about to upgrade an ebuild which has an upgrade note associated with the new version. Sending mail via cron might be a nice optional feature for those who want to use it. -- Best regards, Jakub Moc mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG signature: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xCEBA3D9E Primary key fingerprint: D2D7 933C 9BA1 C95B 2C95 B30F 8717 D5FD CEBA 3D9E ... still no signature ;)
