Just a note to this. I'm co-maintainer of netbeans ebuild. Netbeans does |
| 5 |
milestone releases. These are pretty stable and usable since milestone 7 |
| 6 |
of netbeans 6.0 with many new features that make sense to use the |
| 7 |
milestone releases. I have to name the ebuilds netbeans-6.0_alpha7 etc. |
| 8 |
though I was assured by mkt guy from Sun it is not yet alpha quality. It |
| 9 |
would be fair to the upstream and to users to not use _alpha because it |
| 10 |
is not alpha but there's no appropriate choice available. |
