I think it is. I was scratching my head over some of these warnings, wondering |
15 |
why no one has fixed some of them yet. For the less-used packages, such as |
16 |
sys-apps/timer_entropyd, without a revbump, I'd not have thought that simply |
17 |
re-merging the package on all of my systems would update the init script and |
18 |
make the warning go away. |

IMHO, such a change *should* have been a revbump, and, if that was the only |
21 |
change to that package, that revbump should have gone straight to stable since |
22 |
it doesn't really represent a significant change (and issues regarding such a |
23 |
change should have already been worked out). OTOH, if there were other things |
24 |
that could be fixed in a package, then pack this change into the rest and |
25 |
follow the normal stabilization process. |

As for the "--quiet --quiet" bit...that's a bit obtuse. The message being |
28 |
output is only using an "ewarn", so it's not a critical error and should have |
29 |
been squelched with the first --quiet. I'd either update the message to an |
30 |
"eerror" to get attention or add a note about the double-quiets somewhere (or |
31 |
add a new switch, --stfu, to do the job </smirk>). |
