In a case like Eternal Lands, it might turn out that the best solution would be always to keep it as ~sparc, but that would have the same effect in practice as a stable keyword, because anyone playing the game on sparc would know what was going on (I would think). The key here is the bug report, and at that point the friendly sparc developers would work with you. :) =20 > but committing straight to stable on arches where the package wasn't > even tested is an absolute no-do for me. =20 >=20 > > DISCLAIMER: I've not read the bug mentioned as I've lost the email > > with it's number so I may just be talking out of my ass. >=20 > no, in fact you are the first one that comes up with a valid argument, > why games sometimes should go to stable almost immediately. sad, but > true... >=20 Regards, --=20 Ferris McCormick (P44646, MI) <fmccor@gentoo.org> Developer, Gentoo Linux (Devrel, Sparc) --=-F9Z+21VE2kfgB0D//8dU Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6-ecc01.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBGOe9HQa6M3+I///cRAt6iAKCaURZ3EYSRr5/tAgx09eO6J2ZPDgCeKDVE +QWS7650yzT7JB/rmLUDRMQ= =ohpR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-F9Z+21VE2kfgB0D//8dU-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
