Why are old new items still around on Gentoo? Code: | # eselect news list
News items:
[1] 2009-04-18 Generation 1 Java Setup Deprecated
[2] N 2011-10-15 Upgrade to libpng15
[3] 2012-01-06 systemd /usr migration
[4] 2012-05-21 Portage config-protect-if-modified default
[5] 2012-11-06 PYTHON_TARGETS deployment
[6] 2013-06-07 Portage preserve-libs default
[7] 2013-08-23 Language of messages in emerge logs and output
[8] 2013-09-27 Separate /usr on Linux requires initramfs |
For crying out loud "Generation 1 Java Setup Deprecated" is almost 5 years old. It seems that the news items are in dire need of clean up. _________________ The BIGGER the GOVERNMENT, the smaller the citizen.

Have you run eselect news purge all anytime in, say, the past 5 years?

Apologies if I take a while to respond. I'm currently working on the dematerialization circuit for my blue box.

Looking on my other box that I installed back in Jan 2013 I see it has the same old news items too (all except for the libpng one). |

I would think that a simple "eselect news purge" would fix the problem.
News items probably get pulled down on a new install from some set time ago. _________________ PRIME x570-pro, 3700x, 6.1 zen kernel
