Sounds good but the variant b was about full auto-stabilization. I.e. the idea that we even don't require stabilization bugs anymore (like Debian, where a package will move from SID to testing after some time if nobody created a blocker bug). We could auto-generate bugs but I am not sure if this is a good idea. When mgorny set up autolinking of Github PRs there was some "bug spam" when people lost control over Git and messed up the rebase (now prevented via limits). Also I am not sure how we should handle things like Gnome/KDE stabilization which requires that a bunch of packages will be stabilized at once. I.e. if bot detects a new ebuild of kde-frameworks/kservice auto-stabilization is only allowed to kick in if it is a rev bump of an already stable ebuild but shouldn't auto-start stabilization of next KDE version on its own (at least I guess this is what we want). But well, for the beginning we don't need the perfect solution. We can start with an easy mode and blacklist most packages. So devs interested can remove their packages from blacklist. And like said, build bot would still handle stabilization bugs. -- Regards, Thomas Deutschmann / Gentoo Linux Developer C4DD 695F A713 8F24 2AA1 5638 5849 7EE5 1D5D 74A5
