Stabling a package which is not in packahe.mask is only a support burden if package maintainers are abusing ~arch. | If you're in an arch team, the package maintainer doesn't agree that | the package should be stable, and you're not willing to take on the | support for that package either, don't stabilise it. We shouldn't | stabilise packages where no-one's willing to support it. If you don't agree that it should be stable, don't move it out out of package.mask. ~arch is for stable candidates, and by sticking a package you maintain in ~arch you are implicitly asking for it to be tested with the aim of marking it stable. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Shell tools, Fluxbox, Cron) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm --Signature_Mon__5_Sep_2005_21_34_52_+0100_SmG.oEPU1kBZlzaC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDHKvu96zL6DUtXhERAqShAJ9p41mX//s3QzlIqJL7b9pOSNa1XACgxtm4 cAdFquqtQSQrOOkd9+r/ipI= =+VPC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature_Mon__5_Sep_2005_21_34_52_+0100_SmG.oEPU1kBZlzaC-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
