Fairly short meaning what, 6 months? A lot of old ebuilds tend to stick around forever. > Secondary, you are suggesting that any dev who comes > across a modular x problem to fix it..even if this is a direct > violation of the guidelines set forth in the documentation? Which guidelines, exactly? I'm having trouble finding these vague guidelines to which you refer. I found one that said "If you make an internal, stylistic change to the ebuild that does not change any of the installed files, then there is no need to bump the revision number." I also found "When a package version has proved stable for sufficient time and the Gentoo maintainer of the package is confident that the upgrade will not break a regular Gentoo user's machine, then it can be moved from ~ARCH to ARCH," which, to my reading, can also apply to transferring ~arch modular X deps to stable. Thanks, Donnie
