I have deleted all links to this one as it is out of date and there is actually not much to do anymore. You can file a bug in a completely fubared manner, it will still reach us, thanks to jakub ;) So, I think this document is entirely deprecated. Sure, it would probably encourage people to file them, but then, at least in regard to ~amd64 keyword requests, we're hopelessly overworked. Most of these bugs are lying around for a loooong time simply because it's even hard for us to keep up with the stablization request and normal bugfixing, which both have much higher priorities. > 2) One more line under documentation, mentioning the further resources at > the bottom, might be nice. Should show up with the next cvs<->www sync. Could make it a link though because GuideXML doesn't use semantic anchors for the pages it generates :/ -- Kind Regards, Simon Stelling Gentoo/AMD64 developer -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
