I think I prefer the additional keyword. I am more interested in the |
| 18 |
maintainer's opinion than I am in the maintainer's architecture, and the |
| 19 |
extra keyword makes it clear the maintainer is signing off. After all, |
| 20 |
if I or anyone else keywords a package without adding the 'stable,' it |
| 21 |
is very clear that for some reason an architecture is compelled to jump |
| 22 |
ahead. I also want to know if there is an active maintainer --- |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
But then, I have been working in some dusty corners of the portage tree, |
| 25 |
where I am not sure there even is a maintainer anymore. I recently marked |
| 26 |
a package stable for sparc, and the keywording on it now looks like this: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
KEYWORDS="~x86 ~ppc sparc mips ~alpha arm ~hppa amd64 ~ia64 ppc64 s390" |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Changelog indicates a lot of recent activity, metadata indicates no-herd, |
| 31 |
no maintainer, and I haven't a clue which if any architecture controls. |
| 32 |
I would value the opinion of whoever is lead on this package (unless it's |
| 33 |
me??? ciaranm did tell me that if I touched it, it was mine....). |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
(Oh, what is it? This package is dev-lang/tcl-8.4.6, and a few recent |
| 36 |
additions to Gentoo depend on it. It is almost certainly stable on |
| 37 |
everything, but all I can speak to is sparc.) |
