Now you're suggesting that marking ~arch by mistake isn't a big deal. I don't wish to beat up on you further, but this viewpoint can lead to stable ebuilds in the tree that don't even build over the course of one month (other than February ;-) > As for QA... does anyone think we *can* have proper QA procedures, > with our release speed and decentralized development model?

You're right, we don't have real QA yet. But it's still better to try the best we can rather than marking things blindly on the basis that "we don't have QA anyway" Regards, Aron -- Aron Griffis Gentoo Linux Developer --QTprm0S8XgL7H0Dt Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCL4nyJrHF4yAQTrARAjNLAJ9X7K9/DigNN0OgbpVdAHQU61hHgwCfcAZA +wnJztKgxK8jgduRry+jTFI= =mqQw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --QTprm0S8XgL7H0Dt-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
