Hmm, I'm wondering if that has an actual use or whether that would just |
| 19 |
move the problem. The bug in question that WilliamH demonstrated is |
| 20 |
indeed part of @system; but shouldn't be, it is due to functions.sh. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
So, assuming OpenRC wouldn't have been part of it, as it should be; this |
| 23 |
suggestion wouldn't change WilliamH's problem. Then comes the question |
| 24 |
whether we expand on all options in the virtuals, dependencies that |
| 25 |
come in through certain USE flags of @system; as well as the |
| 26 |
important libraries that aren't necessarily part of @system. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Though on the other hand, what would be the point of prioritizing |
| 29 |
stabilization of important libraries if the applications are way too |
| 30 |
long detailed? Maybe it could improve their workflow of picking bugs a |
| 31 |
bit, dunno; I guess arch teams can shed some light on this last part. |

Given that I think that we want more than just @system in the future, |
| 37 |
but those other things wouldn't be as important as @system and thus |
| 38 |
need a different way of being marked; I think we should rather pick |
| 39 |
"blocker" for @system packages. Then it still leaves us "critical" and |
| 40 |
"major" available for packages that are in between being the |
| 41 |
most and least important. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Though as said, I think this would make only certain people happy; the |
| 44 |
question is to whereas how unhappy the other people would be, I can't |
| 45 |
really comment on this because of completely using unstable here. |
