(As I mentioned in another post, I did ask for a metabug to help.) |
| 14 |
I have other OSS I work on. The "what can I do" question is not relevant |
| 15 |
here because I simply can not make the commitment. I posted this questions |
| 16 |
as a user, not all users have the time. |
| 17 |
And I'll try to repeat: I'm not whining, I'm just asking for a reason. I did |
| 18 |
not know that some developpers left recently and now I understand the |
| 19 |
situation. I did not know Gentoo had those problems. |

So my suggestions: |
| 22 |
- Document the use of ~arch better. It seems to me that the arch tree is |
| 23 |
more stable now and that the idea of ~arch which was very broken years ago |
| 24 |
is now more stable. (I'm a user since 1.4rc3) |
| 25 |
- Open more metabugs that document the requirements of stabilization for the |
| 26 |
largest packages. Report about that policy to all users and actively ask |
| 27 |
them to cooperate there. |
