Hey folks,

If you'd like to help Gentoo stable be more up to date, please read on.

See
<http://dev.gentoo.org/~phajdan.jr/stabilization-candidates-2017-07-09.txt>
for potential stabilization candidates (over 1000 of them).

These are automatically checked to pass repoman, and bugzilla is also
checked for bugs. Only ebuilds not modified in last 30 days are considered.

Feel free to check out <https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/arch-tools.git/>
for the script(s) which generate this. It's a project I've been working
on throughout 2011-2014, and might now work more on it.

Feedback about next steps would be welcome.

Paweł

Looks great!

It would fit in well with the new stabilisation bot for pre-checking,
and the -grumpy project for a 'developer dashboard'.

Have you come across the -stable working group that was set up recently?

Best regards,
Michael.

I might be looking wrong but it looks like lzip and lziprecover are listed twice.

I'd say hold of on anything Perlish unless strictly necessary. Trying
to keep the stable requests down to only what is *needed* for now
prioritizing for a future where Perl 5.26 can be stabilized.

Once we've got that target set whittled down, we might have time to
consider all the extra work associated with stabilizing the other stuff.

This worked really well in the past - I hope you decide to continue this
great work.

I have two suggestions:

1. Put out a call for updated blacklist requests. This will help avoid
(a) whinging from the vocal minority who are terribly offended by this
sort of thing, and (b) unnecessary requests for sets of packages that
are managed in bulk eg. certain kde and qt categories

2. Please update the bug filing script to use the new bugzilla
components and package list fields - these are now essential to getting
prompt service from arch teams

Now that ruby has switched to use.stable.mask for newer ruby targets it
 is no longer needed to exclude it from the list.
