For what it's worth, Gentoo has a similar system. Packages can show a message when they are installed (including updates) and for system-wide changes the package manager will tell you to to read 'eselect news'.
- ashark 12y agoI loved Gentoo's package management system. I managed to break my system more with Gentoo than any other distro, but that wasn't the package manager's fault—mostly mine and/or package maintainers. I wish it'd gone as mainstream as dpkg and rpm—I prefer widely-used distros these days because I like being able to google any problem and find an answer (I'm well past the days where I found managing my OS to be anything resembling fun) but I miss Portage. I miss OpenRC, for that matter. Using that is the only time I've felt something like contentment while managing init.
