I am not aware of there being a 30 day policy, and have always considered it as a guideline, not policy. If the maintainer sees that 10 days is good for the package sometimes, I see no problem with it. Arch teams might kindly request explanations of why the quicker stabilization, but I don't represent any myself, but in case of quicker stabilization of package I maintain myself I try to state in the STABLEREQ bug why the quicker stabilization. Is it stated in any documentation that 30 days is a policy? --=20 Mart Raudsepp Gentoo Developer Mail: leio@gentoo.org Weblog: http://planet.gentoo.org/developers/leio --=-hi/qDPd66+nAwxRrTG+u 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) iEYEABECAAYFAkrtvYEACgkQkeYb6olFHJdD6QCg3B9vYq5TDhhgi1r9JJYUa3GH +HcAoOFYurOiLjMBJZp/3sEoGLvL3akZ =VxrI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-hi/qDPd66+nAwxRrTG+u--
