okay, you just got a generic answer, so I figure I'd post this one too: |
12 |
there is a list, also known as ftp-release-list@×××××.org .. We are |
13 |
subscribed, if you post a bug to repeat that info to us, you are simply |
14 |
cluttering our buglists. My current -unread- list of bugs is way over |
15 |
six thousand. around a thousand of those are Gnome related. See my |
16 |
issue? |
17 |
|
18 |
Also, submitting your own version does very little when you don't tell |
19 |
what you changed. Better use the "diff -u" command to show us. if its |
20 |
only the change of "mv nautilus-$OLDVERSION.ebuild |
21 |
nautilus-$NEWVERSION.ebuild" ... don't bother. |
22 |
|
23 |
in your case, the only difference is a (broken, on top of it) change of |
24 |
the eel dependency from $PV to strict .1 (when .2 is the latest....) |
25 |
|
26 |
Also, unstable releases never end up in the tree, but are maintained |
27 |
(usually ;) in paralell by devs, who then at some time compare notes and |
28 |
push it into the tree as package.masked during the rc phase of Gnome |
29 |
development. |

32 |
Make my work a bit easier, dont file bugs for every of the 60+ packages |
33 |
released. |
34 |
|
35 |
( And yes, I saw the announcement of Gnome 2.6.2... I was in the room at |
36 |
GVADEC ) |

Sorry if I sound harsh and bitter, but I'm wading through bugreport |
40 |
emails right now, and its not made much easier by annoying extras. |
