Stabling a package which is not in packahe.mask is only a support burden if package maintainers are abusing ~arch. | If you're in an arch team, the package maintainer doesn't agree that | the package should be stable, and you're not willing to take on the | support for that package either, don't stabilise it. We shouldn't | stabilise packages where no-one's willing to support it. If you don't agree that it should be stable, don't move it out out of package.mask. ~arch is for stable candidates, and by sticking a package you maintain in ~arch you are implicitly asking for it to be tested with the aim of marking it stable. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Shell tools, Fluxbox, Cron) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
