I am reading it now, yes. He also stated he will move it before 30 days |
| 21 |
because he uses it, and needs it. So basically, what I am seeing, is if its |
| 22 |
important enough for the dev, then they forget the 30 day rule. If its not, |
| 23 |
they don't.. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Which is getting me right were I thought I would be in this, the devs just |
| 26 |
basically do what they want. They follow the rules when they want to. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Mysql is sitting for a good reason, which was my question in the beginning. |
| 29 |
Why is it sitting. He answered, but also stated he moves them in if the |
| 30 |
changes are significant enough. But according to the policy sent to me, its |
| 31 |
only suppose to if its a security fix. Which is why I am waiting for kde, |
| 32 |
because its not been 30 days, but does have a significant fix in it. just as |
| 33 |
the mysql developer stated he moved his in earlier for. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I don't know anymore.. Let the devs just do what they want.. |

Funny thing is, if I had just got the reply from him, and none of this other |
| 41 |
crap, this wouldn't be the thread that it is... I just wanted to know why |
| 42 |
some are taking so long. I wasn't aware of this 30 day rule before. I |
| 43 |
remember many ebuilds being there for only a few days, then being set stable |
| 44 |
many times in the past.. Mysql being one. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Oh well, you guys just do what you want.. This thread is going way past my |
| 47 |
intentions anymore. |
