Subject: [gentoo-user] When a package is marked as stable or not?
Date: Wed, 22 Aug 2018 14:02:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180822120209.l766tnjnidqgcuet@mew.swordarmor.fr> (raw)

Hi,

I’m a little curious about the way a package is considered as stable or
~arch.

For exemple, app-office/libreoffice-bin is tagged stable but breaks
updates on my system since weeks; but on the other hand net-misc/bird is
~arch but I never had major issues with hit (either running and
building it).

My feeling would be to remove the stable keywork from
app-office/libreoffice-bin in the same time the default python version
has been switched to 3.6, and mark bird (and other packages) as stable
since many years.

But I’m not a gentoo developer, so perhaps there is a good reason that I
don’t know.

Cheers,
