Hey all,
 
I would like to address some  issues that I have been experiencing lately. 
 
After some time of standard emerge --sync && layman --sync  I found some package removal information (net-im/psi) and went to look for replacement for it. I was quite baffeld that there was newer version in portage (https://gpo.zugaina.org/). So I started digging around and found that there was change in Funtoo's portage.
 
It is okay. I will not discuss moving to kits over previous system as I simply do not know much about this.
 
But, I found that looking for information about this whole process painfull. It is incosistent, fragmented over forum, news items, bugzilla and github. Even news are fragmented as I went to http://www.funtoo.org/and clicked "more" first two items are not listed but when you go http://www.funtoo.org/News there are all news. Why not just link to there with the more button? 
 
Why there is no something like portage news with critical changes to the system? Even linking to news page could be better than nothing.
 
Why there is no single page with all the info updated when needed?
 
Where is more information on how ego sync does work and why not to use it with other kits? Does it include layman overlays or just kit branches?
 
I know this mess will take time to sort out. I can see that there are packages that are older in gentoo portage and some can not be downloaded anymore (fldigi).
 
Edit:
Also, there should be a changelog. When funtoo moved to grub2? Was is when gummiboot was renamed? 

I've decided to keep the forums.

Hi all!
I am having some problem with USE flags for vlc after todays sync.
These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies - !!! Problem resolving dependencies for media-video/vlc from @selected ... done! !!! The ebuild selected to satisfy "media-video/vlc" has unmet requirements. - media-video/vlc-2.2.0::gentoo USE="X a52 aalib alsa avcodec avformat bidi bluray cdda dbus dts dvb dvbpsi dvd encode ffmpeg flac fontconfig gcrypt gnutls httpd jack jpeg libass libcaca libnotify libsamplerate libtar live lua matroska modplug mp3 mpeg mtp musepack ncurses ogg opengl optimisememory png pulseaudio qt4 rtsp schroedinger skins svg swscale theora truetype udev vaapi vdpau vlm vorbis x264 xcb xml xv (-altivec) -atmo (-audioqueue) -avahi -cddb -chromaprint -dc1394 -debug -directfb (-directx) (-dxva2) -faad -fdk -fluidsynth -gme -gnome -growl -ieee1394 -kate -kde (-libav) -libtiger -linsys -lirc (-macosx-dialog-provider) (-macosx-eyetv) (-macosx-qtkit) (-macosx-quartztext) (-media-library) (-neon) -omxil -opencv -opus -oss -postproc -projectm -qt5 -rdp -run-as-root -samba -sdl -sdl-image -sftp -shout -sid -speex -taglib -test -tremor -twolame -upnp -v4l -vcdx -vnc -vpx -wma-fixed -x265 -zvbi" CPU_FLAGS_X86="mmx sse" The following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied: ffmpeg?

Also there was some eselect-news discussed here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1011826-highlight-vlc.html but I have not seen this in Funtoo's eselect-news. 
 
 
Here are my global USE flags:

Best regards!
 
 
Also my Opera seems to show forums.funtoo.org blacklisted as source of malicious software.

Adding postproc to vlc USE flags solved my issue.
Best regards.
