Well, here's my take on it: |
| 17 |
new sub-branch packages ( 2.0.1 to 2.0.2) will get the ~arch KEYWORD |
| 18 |
tagged to them, and then after a week or so when the testing is done on |
| 19 |
a wider base, will drop the ~ and become "stable" . |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
For the new branch 2.1.x which is highly unstable alpha software you |
| 22 |
will still have to dig in package.mask if it ever will be in. why you |
| 23 |
ask? Because once again we will have to re-check all our gnome 2.0.x |
| 24 |
packages to not depend on the 2.1 / 2.2 libraries. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
(the programs will stay in one slot since they are updated, libraries |
| 27 |
coexist, programs overwrite) |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
so, for the next 2.0.4 or what it will be, it will appear as ~arch, |
| 31 |
whereas 2.1 (after freeze) will be digging in package.mask |
| 32 |
