The ~* trees are _testing_ trees - they are not for _packages_ that're unstable necessary, but rather for testing out things going into the tree (or being unmasked) before they hit the majority of users. It provides a test-ground for ebuilds. Nothing should ever be committed or unmasked directly into stable without first being in the ~arch tree. -- Jon Portnoy avenj/irc.freenode.net -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
