Then perhaps all this should have been worked out BEFORE switching to github? As a user, I would look at the change logs pretty regular, more than the ebuilds to be honest. Now, there is none. If a package changes, I have no clue why it changed unless I go dig that information out somewhere and that somewhere doesn't seem to be in one place. When I tried to dig some info out a while back, I found some on github thingy and then some more on gentoo.org itself. I'm still not sure what change lead to what because there is no real order of events that I could see. This was shortly after the change. After that, screw it. I don't mind change but it seem this one wasn't really ready to be done yet although most made it sound like it was. I been using Gentoo since 2003, the 1.4 days, and even I can't figure out where to find information easily and I have a stable DSL connection. I feel real sorry for people who don't have one. I might add, I had a really limited dial-up connection when I first started using Gentoo so I know how it is to be in that situation. I haven't forgot those days. Going back to my hole for the simple reason, it's screwed up and no one seems to think it worth fixing. I noticed that as soon as I saw the you need to figure out a way to fix it yourself comment. One thing about being around so long, when you see that comment, you may as well kiss it good bye. That's code for we aren't going to fix it, you figure out a way for yourself. It's rare that anything gets fixed after that. Dale :-) :-)
