As more users (especially inexperienced and bug-happy ones) use gentoo, more |
| 10 |
bugs get raised, often times to be marked as duplicates or user error. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
As for the ebuilds languisihing longer, there are two reasons for this. |
| 13 |
First, we try to give bugs higher priority ... the whole 'clean up your house |
| 14 |
as is before taking in more mess', and |
| 15 |
Second, we're gearing up to release gentoo 1.4, which means theres basically |
| 16 |
no new packages being added to the tree unless we want to justify it to |
| 17 |
Daniel Robbins (which makes sense, you dont want to keep introducing more |
| 18 |
problems when your trying to stabalize a release). |

re: where to focus on, thats not my domain, however documentation is ALWAYS |
| 24 |
appreciated (developers hate documenting things ;). As for the new ebuilds, |
| 25 |
you can submit them to bugzilla, just dont expect them to be added to the |
| 26 |
system before 1.4 is released. |

yes, it is. |

Why not email Daniel directly about this :) |

I wish I could change the world, but God won't give me the source code. |
