I guess like with most people it depends a) If I'm already aware of the new version, or would have noticed it myself very soon I'd get a bit annoyed by them b) How the request is worded. Is it a demand "$foo has been released 5 minutes ago, why isn't it in the tree yet?!?"), or just a friendly notification, possibly including helpful hints about changes (new deps or configure options for example). c) The nature of the release. If the release is "important" (e.g. because it contains fixes for security or data corruption issues, or problems affecting many users) then I'm more likely to appreciate an early notification. > 2) If you had your way, would you discourage users from filing early > version bump requests? Not in general, only if they are worded in some way offensive or don't contain useful information. But that applies to almost any bug report. Marius -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
