I also need to clarify that this is not correct. |

The ~* trees are _testing_ trees - they are not for _packages_ that're |
| 13 |
unstable necessary, but rather for testing out things going into the |
| 14 |
tree (or being unmasked) before they hit the majority of users. It |
| 15 |
provides a test-ground for ebuilds. |

Nothing should ever be committed or unmasked directly into stable |
| 18 |
without first being in the ~arch tree. |
