FOLLOW THE FRICKIN' POLICY WHEN REMOVING EBUILDS In particular: 1) Don't remove the highest stable version for any arch 2) Don't remove the highest ~arch version for any arch unless there is a higher stable version for that arch. Exception: you're deliberately forcing a downgrade because you committed something really broken to ~arch. It really isn't funny when the arch teams have to spend more time fixing screwups caused by developers not following keyword policy than working on useful stuff. I don't care if being careful involves slightly more work on your part -- identifying and fixing the screwups you caused not only takes a lot more effort from a lot more people, it also impacts end user systems. Stop being so damned rude. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Fluxbox, shell tools) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm --Signature_Mon__14_Mar_2005_22_17_01_+0000_w5oZeBOBh1P6omWn Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCNg1f96zL6DUtXhERAh+NAJ9KEp7iQZs1CHrkKqgkRjOehbwoTwCgjo50 IaxFji59wlXvLFNBWHF04gY= =AJrJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature_Mon__14_Mar_2005_22_17_01_+0000_w5oZeBOBh1P6omWn-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
