No, we do what is appropriate for the package. As a guideline, thirty |
| 9 |
days is a reasonable duration for ~arch for non-core packages. For very |
| 10 |
small changes (for example a simple ten line patch), thirty days may be |
| 11 |
too long. For core packages, or complex packages with a lot of |
| 12 |
dependencies, thirty days is often not long enough to find all the |
| 13 |
associated issues. For security related issues, we either backport or |
| 14 |
ignore the thirty days depending upon which seems more appropriate. |
