I can't speak for other developers or herd maintainers, but if you have |
| 13 |
been using a perl package that is ~arch masked and think its as good as |
| 14 |
it gets, please file a 'bug' on bugzilla saying so. I've seen folks |
| 15 |
lately doing it for amd64 keywording - yay! But we also need that kind |
| 16 |
of feedback for mainstream keywording. Otherwise we get into the |
| 17 |
situation that any dev has faced - you have a package ~arched, you use |
| 18 |
it for a month or three, no problems, but then it languishes in ~arch |
| 19 |
land because you don't have the gentle reminder that others think its |
| 20 |
ready for prime time too. |

I guess the drift I'm trying to making (and why I separated this out |
| 23 |
from that longer thread) is to encourage the folks on this list, being a |
| 24 |
development list and all, to please post on bugzilla for both the good |
| 25 |
and the bad of any ~arch package your using - any feedback helps us |
| 26 |
churn out a newer Gentoo for you faster ;) |
