[gentoo-dev] Questions about stabilization requests

[Robert R. Russell]

Some of the packages that I use are ~arch keyworded right now and I was 
wanting to ask some questions about when to file stabilization requests and 
about how much information needs to be provided when filling them.

1)	How long do you recommend using a package before filing a stabilization 
request?

2)	Should I file stabilization requests on software that works mostly as in 
everything that I use it for normally but I can force it to fail if I feed it 
some really strange input or contrive a specific set of options that will 
cause invalid or incorrect output.

3)	Should I provide a patch that removes the ~arch keyword when I file the 
stabilization request?


Thanks.
