Clearly a code freeze would explain it, though perhaps not the merging |
| 2 |
gnome-2.2 and kde-3.1 ... |

|

If a devloper with access would remove the "~" from the ebuild for acct, |
| 5 |
found under sys-apps/acct/ I'd be very appreciative. Or even if there is |
| 6 |
anything I could do to help test the package, please let me know. |

Thanks for the info Paul, |

For one gentoo is in some state of freeze (not too strict though) for |
| 33 |
gentoo-1.4, and when packages have just been added they are made |
| 34 |
unstable |
| 35 |
first to discover possible problems with the ebuilds and the package |
| 36 |
code. |
| 37 |
The code aparently is rather stable, but the ebuild might have problems. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
That's why it starts life as testing |
