4 Hello All,
5
6 I'd just like to remind you of the ebuild stabilization policy documented
7 at
8 http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=5#doc_chap2
9
10 In particular, please note the following from that section;
11
12 "Ebuilds should only be stabilized, i.e. placed from "~arch" into "arch"
13 when the maintainer, or an architecture maintainer deems the ebuild to be
14 stable. You should never stabilize packages on architectures for which you
15 cannot test and instead you should file a bug to the relevant architecture
16 team, such as sparc@g.o asking them to stabilize the ebuild.
17 Alternatively, you may be able to find Gentoo developers on IRC who could
18 help you with your request."
