This is an > enforcement problem, no? No. It *was* an enforcement problem. The problem has been resolved already. There's really no need for the Council to speak on this. Keyword policy applies to everyone. In the cases of certain games, such as Eternal Lands (thanks Roy!), we can make exceptions simply because of the necessity. That being said, there's nothing stopping games (or any maintainer) from filing a stabilization bug *immediately* after putting a package in the tree. I've done it on games a few times and I've seen it done on things like portage when a necessary fix needed to go out as quickly as possible. The point of policy is *not* to impede progress. It is supposed to be to provide our users the best quality distribution. If policy gets in the way of progress without gain for our users, then the policy needs to be revisited. --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation --=-+FTpW4QsG7v6TLWbkhkC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBGO4tTkT4lNIS36YERAvq1AJ49S3FIbYgHTJrqz+liNlTSna6/gwCePqkZ sz8jvQRmqfeqTa9B0bI6GyI= =7nR2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-+FTpW4QsG7v6TLWbkhkC-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
