Dear ebuild maintainers,
thirty days is the norm for the minimal period between an ebuilds last
non-keywording change while in the tree and the usual call for
stabilisation. If you cannot find a pressing reason to push
stabilisation forward, then don't ask. In the last few days I have seen
several early calls for stabilisation (bugs #217148, #217845, #217841
and #217839 for instance) where no adequate reason was given, in my
opinion.
A good reason might be an important fix of a severe bug, a fix for a
build problem that couldn't be applied to a stable version but had to
go into an ebuild revision, or a version/revision that fixes a security
problem.
On the other hand, maybe these early stabilisation bug reports are a
sign of the times and we need to shorten the normal thirty day period,
become even more of a cutting edge distro - or at least discuss the
options.
Kind regards,
JeR
