Have a look at xcdroast (http://www.xcdroast.org/). This |
| 6 |
software is _alpha since ages, but it is in our stable |
| 7 |
branch. The author himself suggest switching to his |
| 8 |
0.98-alpha branch instead of using the unsupported |
| 9 |
0.96-stable-branch (which is more unstable than the newer |
| 10 |
branch ;-) ). |

In my eyes an all over all policy isn't adviceable. The |
| 13 |
package maintainers should know, if it could be used in |
| 14 |
Gentoo stable (although the software itself is in |
| 15 |
development). But check it twice and have a talk with the |
| 16 |
developers of this software if you're in doubt. |
