Stuff with high impact better be masked for initial testing, such as new versions of gcc, glibc and other parts of toolchain and build system, and other similar things affecting other packages than itself. ~arch is in my eyes something that updates shouldn't break vastly - a stable candidate. Of course when that initial testing is done with helping users, the reason could be modified to tell things broke and what the tracking bug is, or unmasked if it works fine with other packages. --=20 Mart Raudsepp Gentoo Developer Mail: leio@gentoo.org Weblog: http://planet.gentoo.org/developers/leio --=-lV0p71y8GrVlrGrW6VVX Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.8 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkjlxH8ACgkQkeYb6olFHJdzwACg/bS8S+AbTG0UINQiNDSIocw3 RVYAn0Qm9rlQQLfET+M6tR+Vx7JEiFzG =m+fC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-lV0p71y8GrVlrGrW6VVX--
