But both of suggested solutions will break the whole idea of stabling. Dropping packages to unstable on regular basis will annoy our users. If we have old stable package, it builds and works correctly in new environment(new gcc, glibc etc), then i do not see the point in rushing things up, unless there are some more critical things, that needs new version of this package. Stable should be reasonable. Each new version of package contains bugfixes, it is true. But we should note, that new versions(even so-called bugfix releases) can also bring new bugs. --=20 Best regards, Sergey Popov Gentoo developer Gentoo Desktop Effects project lead Gentoo Qt project lead Gentoo Proxy maintainers project lead --5D3cN8MccI8OOv570tdgsPmlLEP7FkcTr Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJS1nDeAAoJECo/aRed9267viUH/j1oHH8/a7H+VSXro4LVl9mN O+7tNs6NoPA+Cf1sicpXpKXcu6x9UwE8uFB3GrKqZmFzLW8nk3sYSdOEs5IPtd1h 2B9cD78S+r6r/hMZ/wy9emwgHM+bKS6dpVREZVhI36BOKuoZETKwJXd/+C65lHhW rgnnz20v1OkaOPxvdplOrGuIFoSxARXYT5/LBJlKIrEfv5upSHw1GY7+fwLUDIn6 mflZ4wREu2Midw4BQYEyz9g62jAmyuTfdDAF+DevuqoMRoL3atRrpmoCpPEzOa8e ASg3tgZTf+VA8DgaorAGyKBr4HGmENRjD+nKvZmU+F0vpSx20LDRbQj35MB9EY4= =SHOV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --5D3cN8MccI8OOv570tdgsPmlLEP7FkcTr--
