Some initial items it was suggested the WG look into is * The b.g.o workflow, bugs should not be considered fixed until the fix has reached the stable tree. Today the InVCS keyword exists for this purpose, but it is used to varying degree amongst developers. Will a workflow change to introduce a new status, e.g RESOLVED NeedsStable (name for illustration purpose only) incentivize developers to not close bugs before it is fixed? * Are there ways to reduce the stabilization lag of packages - looking into the effectiveness of ALLARCHES and its use - possibility for maintainer to stabilize packages themselves for architectures they have access to (including whether there might be a need for changes to gentoo infrastructure to facilitate this) - Tinderboxing / Automatic tools build test packages and reverse dependencies in order to assist in stabilization Other suggestions are up to the WG to come up with and write up a final report to the council with the summary of these discussions. I've volunteered to chair such as working group. If you want to participate in it please respond to this thread. Additionally I've set up #gentoo-wg-stable as a place of coordination. --=20 Kristian Fiskerstrand OpenPGP certificate reachable at hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net fpr:94CB AFDD 3034 5109 5618 35AA 0B7F 8B60 E3ED FAE3 --GAStwqTusWg8C3NfRJroiUWe8sGwoFcFR-- --8J7B3hPn1ESdiS2WT0FUpoOHO56vR6spK Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJXsOQ+AAoJECULev7WN52FYKgIALEwhlJrYqC8YbbIerm/b4hg SLSqivrRL03vlHFUDITe+XZomJVdyDkwgVvftj5z1NKJr+I2TzolFYeSjmPlAQPF oCWBIghAdcXhJfmBpNRYlVZQmYQyWpkBcwNgbowbmF/HPAE5PY39RgL2OpYRBcU4 TnaJWDgqGZ/sMFH2r3qkRpyoQux3vS21gRanSgStsItKm3W6Z3q9uxk2nR/NgB8Z AOx8YQ8Fl8uAaygWfWnsj0Hu37YGDkb5d+t0I50sejamznr80Wy/g0qYi/Kv2sw0 Xq1hUDm4+xUrQWSmo1e/yQsKaoYyDy3ckP6Pbq2SeFkltaDR784gBmre4fFD2Vc= =ngF0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --8J7B3hPn1ESdiS2WT0FUpoOHO56vR6spK--
