[gentoo-dev] cvs keywording.

[Alec Warner]

Official policy states that CVS ebuilds should never be marked 
stable[1].  Yet many ebuilds that are based on cvs sources and are 
marked stable on arch's.  I would like to know why this is so.

./net-misc/netcomics-cvs/netcomics-cvs-0.14.1.ebuild:KEYWORDS="x86 ~amd64"
./games-fps/blackshades-cvs/blackshades-cvs-20031110.ebuild:KEYWORDS="x86 
~ppc ~amd64"
./dev-embedded/sdcc-cvs/sdcc-cvs-2.4.0-r1.ebuild:KEYWORDS="x86 ~ppc amd64"
./games-fps/avp-cvs/avp-cvs-20031110.ebuild:KEYWORDS="x86"

This was just a hacked up search I did on the tree while in class, and 
is no way inclusive of all packages breaking policy.  If you want bugs 
for them, I 'll make them.

The two games listed are CVS snapshots, not live CVS builds.  A live CVS
build should never be stable.  A snapshot is a known set of files, and
can be marked stable.  It is usually a known-good working set of files,
taken from CVS, but not tied to an actual "release" version, and added
to our mirrors by the package maintainers.

Indeed I suck at this :)  Sorry games team ;)

The other two packages I checked by hand ( and not a craptastic script )
to make sure they were live cvs ebuilds.  I have filed bugs [1,2] for them.
