If Bob were *my* admin and had not taken the time to read the ChangeLog for the package and not made changes on the test network before making them to the production network, Bob would be looking for a new job after that coffee. Also, if Bob were not smart enough to not stay with the stable portion of Gentoo, which is designed to not have feature loss and other such problems, but was instead using the "testing" branch on production servers, then Bob would be looking for a new job and I would be looking for a smarter administrator. The whole point is that if you are blindly upgrading *anything* that you rely on for day-to-day work, that really there is only one person to blame, and that is yourself. --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux --=-z5duvQOZSeQ6lhWqnLUK Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBCJh3ZkT4lNIS36YERAm9FAKCijxZGnqBOIi1aNpnRgbSwyRvjsQCeOMm5 xI+aodtQlZXhjNhR+lqGzGA= =8hqr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-z5duvQOZSeQ6lhWqnLUK-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
