14 That's sort of the current solution without stable keywords. If there
15 are people that want to do the job, fine with me, syncing will always
16 produce a new ~arch ebuild, not sure what I should do for the updates
17 inside an ebuild (like an added patch - could break). Something tells
18 me I should keep it stable if it was, otherwise I probably break the
19 deptree.
