From a package maintainer perspective, I'm not fine with it. Imho an arch |
| 9 |
should simply not go stable, before the package maintainer marks his arch |
| 10 |
stable. I cannot care for arch maintainers - and their users - if they run |
| 11 |
into problems, e.g. due to dependency changes while I do not consider the |
| 12 |
ebuild stable. If the arch maintainer thinks, he knows a package better than |
| 13 |
me and cannot even ask before doing so - o.k., not my problem. We had the |
| 14 |
discussion a while back... |
