Still bugged I'm > afraid. I think he means "the least buggy version on amd64." Doing a stable bump to solve a huge bug whilst introducing a number of smaller ones is, I think, acceptable, even if you're playing with the stable branch. This is even detailed (albeit only briefly and suggestively rather than explicitly) in the developer guidelines. Sometimes, QA has to slip by the wayside in order to ensure that something isn't massively broken. "Stable" does not mean "wait until all known bugs are solved" - it means "least broken." Everything is broken to some extent. --------------enig712659B13987CD663926E507 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkE1+RkACgkQq/c/2ZoPH0TgFgCfakFBOob99tiZqI847bq80PyC YOwAn0UIRvD/zJoRtWsdgdx2AMJiBPm1 =3ka0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig712659B13987CD663926E507--
