you are referring to people who are assuming everything marked stable in |
9 |
portage, is stable, when in reality, only the latest stable is? |
10 |
|
11 |
i've seen bugs like that, mostly closed as invalid by maintainers -- |
12 |
"use latest stable" |
13 |
some maintainers have removed older copies, some have reverted older |
14 |
copies to ~arch |
15 |
|
16 |
imho, going over the tree and marking older stable copies of packages |
17 |
back to ~arch is just too much work |
18 |
and we should stick to the "latest stable is the stable" mantra |

(i'm not sure if this is even documented anywhere? and propably should |
20 |
not be? keep it as maintainer specific decision like it's now?) |
