You know, that's why I came here. I opened a bug (#132213) where I suggested |
| 26 |
to open a stabilization tracker bug if necessary and the bug was closed. I |
| 27 |
was referred to this thread... |
| 28 |
I feel that if more packages would have a stabilization tracker bug things |
| 29 |
would be more clear for users. That would make it a lot easier to help |
| 30 |
solve bugs. I users start asking for more stable packages you can refer |
| 31 |
them to those bugs. And then they can help. And most probably I would help |
| 32 |
more too. |
| 33 |
I don't have much spare time either, but if I want something done in my |
| 34 |
distribution and I can help I would do that faster. |
