i'm just browsing the forums, and it seems there's still some complaints |
| 2 |
about not getting enough notice about packages being removed. i know, |
| 3 |
there's always going to be someone complaining, but i think there's a |
| 4 |
couple things we could do to improve the situation. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
one, the treecleaner team has decided to extend the pmasking period for |
| 7 |
packages we remove from 30 to 60 days. we hope this'll lessen the |
| 8 |
surprise factor for those people who do monthly upgrades. this only |
| 9 |
affects maintainer-needed ebuilds of course. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
two, we have a perfectly good announce ML that right now is only used |
| 12 |
for GLSAs, and an announcement forum that is used for GLSAs and major |
| 13 |
announcements. what do people think about posting last rites to these |
| 14 |
places, maybe in one post on a weekly basis like the package moves |
| 15 |
section in the GWN (which BTW is a very welcome addition ;)). |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
what would we have to do to have this happen? i remember during the |
| 18 |
news GLEP there was discussion about how to get stuff posted to the |
| 19 |
announce lists, but i'm fuzzy on the details. |

| 21 |
thoughts, rants, zombie mobs? |

|
| 24 |
by design, by neglect |
| 25 |
dirtyepic gentoo org for a fact or just for effect |
