<waves hand> The other day in the process of filing a new openrc-9999 bug, I did a search. In several years it's only my bugs, altho IIRC there were a couple from others back when Roy was upstream. I guess pretty much everyone else running it, at least that would bother filing bugs, is on the dev team. So I'd welcome some company. =:^) I run openrc-9999 because I guess my configuration's unusual enough to trigger bugs once in awhile, and from experience once I do, it's a lot easier to track 'em down if I've only a couple commits to check since my last update. Plus the fact that I can (and religiously do) run the unpack to trigger a git pull, then run git whatchanged, BEFORE doing the actual update. So if there's a problem, I either spot it right away before I actually build and install the update, or at minimum, I have a very good idea where it is once I hit it, because I have a good idea what changed and why. Running the ~arch release version, OTOH, doesn't appear to significantly reduce the incidence of bugs compared to live-git, but there's a much bigger pile of changes in a release, and far less information about what they actually are, so I'm bug-tracing pretty much blind and that's no fun at all! So openrc-9999 ends up being the perfect fit, here. =:^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
