14 repoman is horribly broken for multi-arch deps if you're not using
15 portage 2.0.51_pre last i checked. and until portage 2.0.50-r10 you
16 needed to use 2.0.51_pre in order to have tar not (incorrectly) break
17 the sandbox on ~amd64. also, when i went to make a cascading profile for
18 amd64/gcc34-2004.2 i noticed that portage 2.0.50 hung when i specified a
19 default virtual for (i think) ruby, while portage 2.0.51 handled it
20 without problems (i had to delete the virtual for compatibility).
21 ferringb and jstubbs are getting tired of my endless bug reports. ;)
22
23 i'm probably forgetting other stuff, but those were the most annoying
24 for me personally. i'd definately vote for getting portage 2.0.51 out
25 the door as soon as possible. that is, as soon as any release blocker
26 bugs are fixed... anything else can really be fixed after it's release,
27 IMHO. the bugs in .51 cant be much worse than .50. :/
28
29 i like 2.0.51. it's actually been less stressfull here, so i guess i
30 would recommend it.
