For example, I'd love to bump games-simulation/simutrans but Mr_Bones_ claims it's unstable and doesn't want it bumped. It wouldn't be fair to him for me to bump it unless I took the burden of support. > - (for arch teams) Stabilization of new revisions of an already stable > package - An example of this would be being able to stabilize foo-1.0-r2 > if foo-1.0 (or foo-1.0-r1) is already stable, but not if only foo-0.9 is > stable. arch teams are the definitive authority on keywording for their arch. That said, if there is a disagreement between maintainer and arch team, the support burden falls on whoever did the keyword. Teamwork should solve this problem every time. I think the territoriality issue is one of support burden more than anything else. --taco -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
