It is definitely very good; the only thing that currently bothers me, is not in terms of breakage but rather in terms of news and docs / wiki. There are some cases here and there where some headaches, rant and such could be prevented with a simple news item explaining how to deal with a particular change in the Portage tree and explaining why the particular change happened; currently I feel the news items are used to sparingly, but that's a thing on its own. I'll try to catch these occurences in the future and attempt to bring them to the mailing list to show what I mean; but well, they're usually not so big problems. As for big breakage, it hasn't happened lately; I just don't want to see it again. I believe there's going to become a day it happens, because people just don't care because it hasn't happened for some time; at which point it would have been easier to prevent than to cover up. > I'm not inviting a reduction in QA.

Yeah, no change required; maybe my advice ends up being useless, or not. -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : tom...@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
