It is the norm. It is not a requirement. In fact, it is specifically a "guideline" rather than a hard rule. It is up to the maintainer's discretion when to ask for stabilization, just like it is up to the arch team's discretion when to actually *do* the stabilization. If you don't think that it's ready on your arch, say so, but be prepared to defend why you think so when the package maintainer, who should be much more familiar with the package, thinks that it is ready. > > 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. > > I'd say leave the current norm and smack the misbehaving maintainers :) Who says that they're misbehaving? Again, the maintainers probably know their packages better than anyone else, so why are we not trusting their judgement again? -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Games Developer -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
