How about a points rating system such as the following? |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Every ebuild put into the portage tree with ~ARCH gets -30 points for |
| 4 |
each ARCH. For every day the ebuild is in portage, one point is added |
| 5 |
to the points up to a maximum of 30 points. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
If a user installs the ebuild and finds that it does not work, that user |
| 8 |
can submit a failure report to www.gentoo.org. Upon submitting the |
| 9 |
failure a set amount of points are subtracted from the rating. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
If a user installs the ebuild and finds that it works, that user can |
| 12 |
submit a success report to www.gentoo.org. Upon submitting the success |
| 13 |
a set amount of points are added to the rating. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
If after 30 days the points value is 0 or more, the ebuild can be marked |
| 16 |
stable. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Another advantage to this scheme is that users can determine the level |
| 19 |
of stability instead of just is it `stable' or unstable. |
