8 Hi,

10 I already answered in the previous post:

12 "I still use getatoms.py to fetch 'doable' stablereqs (it is on my todo
13 to switch to nattka). And I have a script the **simply** does emerge over the list of
14 the packages. There is nothing obscure in it."

16 I'm working in arch testing since 2009. In the past I relied on scripts done by someone else
17 and every time there was an issue I got no response.
18 At a certain point I decided to make my own script in language I know so I can edit it when
19 is needed.

22 Since few years we allow self stabilization from maintainer. Do we know how and with
23 what they test? No because it is not required.
24 The requirement for test is that the package you are testing works as expected.
