I think that doing something like that, surely will increase safety, but wi= ll=20 also drive gentoo out of the world. We have already too many packages which needs maintainers, and having to=20 double-check every commit can be very very slow, because if there's too few= =20 people doing the second check, the bottleneck will stop everything being=20 fixed, changed, updated. Another problem is that there are tons of commits everyday, some of them ar= e=20 just trivials. I'm a new developer, but still today i did at least 10=20 commits, if I counted them all. Some of them was just ~amd64 markings, othe= r=20 were fixes and version bumps. Some of them can't be tested, would require=20 mergers to try the change locally and that could be really long, as to test= =20 some of them I needed to rebuild at least 6 packages. Also when keywording = is=20 concerned, after some time seeing similar patches you just can't say the=20 differences between them. I've done a couple of errors in this week I worked on gentoo, yes, but I wa= s=20 able to fix them asap. They was mainly trivial errors which I really have=20 overseen (a ! not separed by space, an $Id: $ in a patch); probably=20 double-checking them could have fixed them, but like so applying a security= =20 patch would have took surely more than just the about 40 minutes it took. =2D-=20 Diego "Flameeyes" Petten=F2 Gentoo Developer (Gentoo/FreeBSD, Video, Gentoo/AMD64) http://dev.gentoo.org/~flameeyes/ --nextPart2669562.mXh5dDgaAW Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBCbA6Ae2h1+2mHVWMRAiZQAJ9cKq6k5LCKz+k5G6u7MoRSxzSsSQCbBc5h FlMIyu2ZEaj8161Ohn3iwCI= =/EOL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2669562.mXh5dDgaAW-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
