<title>News Items</title>
<body>
<p>
Gentoo News Items were created to provide a communication medium to push
critical messages to users via the rsync tree. The original proposal for news
items is outlined in <uri link="https://www.gentoo.org/glep/glep-0042.html">
GLEP 42: Critical News Reporting.</uri>
</p>
<p>
News Items can be read using the eselect command. More information on use
of this tool to read or delete news items can be found on the news.eselect
man page.

<title>Adding a news item</title>
<body>
<ul>
<li>
Choose a file name in the proper format: YYYY-MM-DD-name.lang.txt,
where the date is followed by a name (a-z, 0-9, + (plus), - (hyphen)
and _ (underscore)), the two-letter ISO language code (en for English
must be chosen as default) and the file extension txt.
</li>
<li>
Write the news item, which is similar to a RFC-compliant email. Details
concerning what is allowed can be found in the appropriate GLEP section.
As a note: Exceptions depending on installed packages or activated
profiles is possible.
</li>
<li>
Send the news item to the gentoo-dev mailing list and the Gentoo PR team
(pr@gentoo.org) 72 hours in advance of commit.
</li>
<li>
Wait for corrections or feedback that your news item is not of great
importance and should be revoked (can be possible).
</li>
<li>
Upon acceptance, create a detached armored GnuPG signature with
gpg --local-user --detach-sign --armor YYYY-MM-DD-name.lang.txt
</li>
<li>
Verify that your signature is correct with
gpg --verify YYYY-MM-DD-name.lang.txt.asc YYYY-MM-DD-name.lang.txt
</li>
<li>
Create a directory structure for your item in the gentoo-news repository
(<c>git+ssh://git@git.gentoo.org/data/gentoo-news.git</c>):
YYYY/YYYY-MM-DD-name/.
</li>
<li>Add both the news file and the signature to that directory.</li>
<li>Commit and push your changes to the gentoo-news repository.</li>
</ul>
