AOL here. For the few packages i maintain, i'm on all relevant channels to be notified of updates in time. But i appreciate user feedback on bumps, for most of the time they come with patches or complete ebuilds. (thanks guys, you're fantastic) I certainly want to stress the "wording" part of marius' mail. The bump request i dealt with are "patch attached" kind of stuff. That's not annoying, that shows the user's caring and i appreciate that very much. Especially if the bump is critical i like timely feedback on it, in a "hey, this has been out for some days, fixes issue X, which is kind of important to me, could we have a bump in the tree?" kind of way. I DO get annoyed by "package X has a bugfix release out 5 hours now, why isn't it in the tree yet!!?" - but i don't get those bump requests... -- Regards, Matti Bickel Signed/Encrypted email preferred (key 4849EC6C)
