Subject: [gentoo-dev] [ANN] Multiple version suffixes illegal in gentoo-x86

1 Hi all,
2
3 [CC'ing council@g.o as requested by GLEP amendment from March 8th, 2007]
4
5 A subset of council members decided today that multiple version suffixes
6 are illegal in the tree pending further notice. This decission can be
7 appealed at the next Council meeting. If there is sufficient public
8 demand, an earlier meeting can be held.
9
10 This decission has been made to prevent sufficient precedence for
11 unilateral changes to the tree structure. So far the following package
12 versions are considered illegal:
13
14 media-viode/mplayer-1.0_rc2_pre20070321-r4
15 media-video/transcode-1.0.3_rc2_p20070310-r1
16
17 An illegal version specification of media-sound/alsa-driver has already
18 been removed from the tree.
19
20 I would like to ask the affected package maintainers to move these
21 versions to sane version specifications as soon as possible. Thanks in
22 advance for this.

24 Danny
