At least for gcc I put bug numbers and info into the ChangeLog. If you're fanatic you can subscribe to the gentoo-commits ml and set up some filters (that's what I do ;)). Generally if you're not actively hitting a showstopping bug, you don't need the update. And if you are, you're probably on the CC list in bugzilla. > A case in point, glibc-2.12.1-r3.

As Mike said, this was adding support for other architectures that were previously not keyworded. -- fonts, gcc-porting, it makes no sense how it makes no sense toolchain, wxwidgets but i'll take it free anytime @ gentoo.org EFFD 380E 047A 4B51 D2BD C64F 8AA8 8346 F9A4 0662
