AOL here. For the few packages i maintain, i'm on all relevant channels |
| 11 |
to be notified of updates in time. But i appreciate user feedback on |
| 12 |
bumps, for most of the time they come with patches or complete ebuilds. |
| 13 |
(thanks guys, you're fantastic) |

I certainly want to stress the "wording" part of marius' mail. |
| 16 |
The bump request i dealt with are "patch attached" kind of stuff. That's |
| 17 |
not annoying, that shows the user's caring and i appreciate that very |
| 18 |
much. Especially if the bump is critical i like timely feedback on it, |
| 19 |
in a "hey, this has been out for some days, fixes issue X, which is |
| 20 |
kind of important to me, could we have a bump in the tree?" kind of way. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I DO get annoyed by "package X has a bugfix release out 5 hours now, why |
| 23 |
isn't it in the tree yet!!?" - but i don't get those bump requests... |
