Actually, it was more a discussion of older ebuilds. If I put an ebuild |
| 7 |
into the tree today, using one of the eclasses that uses lots of "do*" |
| 8 |
stuff and relies on it not being an error condition today, then the |
| 9 |
change is made at a later date, how am I going to know that my ebuild |
| 10 |
suddenly broke? As you can guess, the answer is "when you get a bug |
| 11 |
report" which definitely isn't the optimal answer. |

I'm refraining from the "quality" discussion simply because we're pretty |
| 14 |
well aware that we have two pretty distant camps within Gentoo these |
| 15 |
days and I'd prefer not start another of the "stable vs. ricer" threads |
| 16 |
while I'm busy working on release stuff... :P |
