Not sure how this is still relevant to the Gnome 3.8 stabilization; Patrick's example brought some irrelevant matters to mind, but what this really is about as he intended is a "QA violation". He just clarified in the other thread as well as on IRC that by this QA violation he means that there is no proper upgrade path; so, I no longer see any use in that example as it has became clear without it. -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : TomWij@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
