I am not saying that Archs are unresponsive (well they are on ppc for |
| 30 |
example sometimes) but I try to solve other problem about finding what |
| 31 |
packages CAN go stable and nobody ever bothered to do a bugreport. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Yeah we can do it by hand like robot and open bugs for zilions of |
| 34 |
packages just to get all the spell packages stable etc etc, but look |
| 35 |
on the euscan, it is quite usefull to have automatically generated |
| 36 |
report of what can you bump and what did you miss to update. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Instead of waiting on maintainer/anyone to notice that you can stable |
| 39 |
something this would give you nice report itself. |

|
| 41 |
And usually when i update and qa clean some package in 30 days I don't |
| 42 |
even really remember which one it was :) |
