I find this confusing and hope to clear it up. According to emerge/portage |
2 |
man pages we have stable keywords (ARCH) and unstable packages (~ARCH) while |
3 |
the handbook[1] says we have stable keywords (ARCH) and testing keywords |
4 |
(~ARCH). I think the handbook is more accurate: |
5 |
|
6 |
"The testing branch is exactly what it says - Testing. If a package is |
7 |
in testing, it means that the developers feel that it is functional but |
8 |
has not been thoroughly tested. You could very well be the first to |
9 |
discover a bug in the package in which case you could file a bugreport |
10 |
to let the developers know about it." |
