This is how I like it to be; for ebuilds that are known as broken, even when that is due to them being incomplete (multiple packages). When testing packages are added as masked, they miss out on more testing; now consider that they might just work, you can miss out on smaller edge case^ bugs if a faster stabilization* must follow later. ^ The more users, the more different system environments, ... * Reverse dependency that needs it, security and so on. --=20 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 --Sig_/NZV5n6Z6XJk3TpPqCylojHw Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJTsbMQAAoJEPWZc8roOL/Q5MkH/0Sunl24AUu1x5eIii2CAy7B 4io+zdg80HzhBhFGr0w0yjjbrt+e3l7aYGxkmgrXo9s0GynhxerE/Ty54cS4hBTB aoTIbImjHmNSHweysUc3BfN9qAiYHcIefklm+XWpcCoNmOFvpDKMujN+fpaCvrE7 otAQerYLfA11mNacQYFzOUCtPnKX9+m1p7ZCdLi9NDLOqlo3iphM5SY12iCCewDb Azc0QNMZnDfit3xhqi7U52H7XaDiRA74a5y4NlZl1iFvg/vBvP6ZoQYaLM+S9hY5 76JOndddc2L7Uk+6Ys8LvC2xZl5vTinLS2MisEFMmjRndTaTvfukfY3VfHnUxnc= =11So -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/NZV5n6Z6XJk3TpPqCylojHw--
