Jeroen, there are two different things that were already told in this |
11 |
tread, but I'll try to repeat in different words, in hope to make them |
12 |
clearer. |
13 |
|
14 |
1. keywords were dropped on purpose: kde-4 is a major rewrite and it is |
15 |
supposed to be thoroughly tested by arch team before becoming ~arch. |
16 |
This fits our current policy. |
17 |
|
18 |
2. you can not expect anything about the hardmasked ebuild/package[1]: |
19 |
don't expect that it'll work, don't expect maintainers to tell you |
20 |
anything (fill you bug) about it. We have such packages in the tree |
21 |
because some brave users[2] and maintainers want to test them before |
22 |
they'll enter ~arch. But for users we have policy to prohibit bugs for |
23 |
hardmasked packages because if you want to report anything back you are |
24 |
supposed to follow Gentoo and upstream development and if you follow, |
25 |
you'll know what reports are allowed and that this policy is not quite |
26 |
true :). If you'd followed kde development you'd were aware about |
27 |
changes and you tested packages together with kde developers and ebuilds |
28 |
entered tree with ~hppa. You don't follow kde development than it's |
29 |
better not to touch hardmasked kde packages. |
30 |
|
31 |
So if you want to see another policy it's possible to write that arch |
32 |
teams should not bother to work with hardmasked ebuilds and that's it. |
33 |
But I do not think we need such policy as hardmasked means hidden far |
34 |
from users... |
35 |
|

37 |
[1] yes, the are the same in this context |
38 |
[2] developers who are not maintainers are users too |
39 |

With best wishes, |
