Re: [gentoo-dev] Reminder: please use the latest Portage/repoman version to commit to tree

[Andreas K. Huettel]

Hi, 

as I've only recently "graduated to developer", I've got a question about 
this. Diego, your request makes perfect sense to me. But, so far I always 
thought "Python, portage, and gcc are the things that I really need to rely 
on, so whatever I do, I'll keep those stable."

(My development machine(s) are also my real-life work machines.)

What is the general opinion on this? 
Do you (developers) all use ~arch portage? 
How big is the risk?

Best, 
Andreas
