As stated by the gnome herd - most of them are on the mailing lists, and |
| 12 |
for packages that I maintain, I tend to be on upstreams mailing list as |
| 13 |
well. While for the most part, 0day don't extremely bother me, the |
| 14 |
deluge of mail can be overwhelming at times (even using filters) 47 |
| 15 |
mailing lists including seperate folders for bugs that are specific to |
| 16 |
me, my herds, and other herds I am interested in, and playing catch up |
| 17 |
to all of that after 12 hours of work can get troublesome. Occasionally |
| 18 |
though, there are the packages that I have that don't have a mailing |
| 19 |
list, and its nice to know that there are users out there that actually |
| 20 |
a) use them and b) know that there is a bump before I do. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
So, really, if upstream has a mailing list/announces a 0 day is |
| 23 |
unwarranted, if not, then by all means please do. |
