Alright. "Package.mask is used to prevent merging of packages that are broken, break something else, or badly need testing before going into ~ARCH KEYWORDS in the tree." I would say a package that you've not even tested for functionality falls under "badly need testing before going into ~ARCH" pretty squarely. Now, let's look under the "~ARCH in KEYWORDS" on that same document. "There is a difference between using package.mask and ~arch for ebuilds. The use of ~arch denotes an ebuild requires testing." The word ebuild is even in bold. Did you even bother reading this before trying to use it to make a point? > Yeah, luck, that's for sure!

I'm not sure how, but if you're regretting your statements, perhaps you should put more thought into them before shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theatre. > Btw, what is your position, being QA manager and all, regarding=20 > http://bugs.gentoo.org/reports.cgi?product=3DGentoo+Linux&datasets=3DNEW%= 3A&datasets=3DASSIGNED%3A&datasets=3DREOPENED%3A=20 > ? For one, you are now trying to point at *ME* for something? I'm sorry, but I don't have to justify myself to you. I am doing my job properly. Also, I have nothing to do with the QA project. I am the QA Manager for Release Engineering. Perhaps you should spend all this energy testing your own packages, rather than trying to point out where you think others are doing wrong when you don't know what you're talking about. Also, let's look at that graph. I would be worried if the number of bugs that were at REOPEN were growing that fast, but considering the number of packages being added to the portage tree since October of 2003, I don't see that as being too odd. > Isn't it one of the top QA's priorities to assure that all known bugs=20 > are resolved?

At this point, you're trying to pick a fight with me simply because you have no retort. I'm going to request this one time from you. Stop. There is no need for you to stoop to such immature tactics, and it won't be tolerated.
