I can't speak for other developers or herd maintainers, but if you have |
13 |
been using a perl package that is ~arch masked and think its as good as |
14 |
it gets, please file a 'bug' on bugzilla saying so. I've seen folks |
15 |
lately doing it for amd64 keywording - yay! But we also need that kind |
16 |
of feedback for mainstream keywording. Otherwise we get into the |
17 |
situation that any dev has faced - you have a package ~arched, you use |
18 |
it for a month or three, no problems, but then it languishes in ~arch |
19 |
land because you don't have the gentle reminder that others think its |
20 |
ready for prime time too. |

I guess the drift I'm trying to making (and why I separated this out |
23 |
from that longer thread) is to encourage the folks on this list, being a |
24 |
development list and all, to please post on bugzilla for both the good |
25 |
and the bad of any ~arch package your using - any feedback helps us |
26 |
churn out a newer Gentoo for you faster ;) |
