Ok, I dunno how many times me and Weeve have said this now, but it's |
| 2 |
still being ignored... |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
FOLLOW THE FRICKIN' POLICY WHEN REMOVING EBUILDS |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
In particular: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
1) Don't remove the highest stable version for any arch |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
2) Don't remove the highest ~arch version for any arch unless there is a |
| 11 |
higher stable version for that arch. Exception: you're deliberately |
| 12 |
forcing a downgrade because you committed something really broken to |
| 13 |
~arch. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
It really isn't funny when the arch teams have to spend more time fixing |
| 16 |
screwups caused by developers not following keyword policy than working |
| 17 |
on useful stuff. I don't care if being careful involves slightly more |
| 18 |
work on your part -- identifying and fixing the screwups you caused not |
| 19 |
only takes a lot more effort from a lot more people, it also impacts end |
| 20 |
user systems. Stop being so damned rude. |
