This still leaves us with the "what are the identifiers and how do we use them?" problem, except that it moves it deeper down into the "how do I determine whether this news item is relevant?" area. And the only way to get around that would be to move even more code into Portage than you're already proposing. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (I can kill you with my brain) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
