Andreas, |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
First off I like the intent. I think it will be useful, especially for arm64 |
| 38 |
which interests me. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
I don't like the reuse of terms like stable, testing, and so on but |
| 41 |
I'm not first to point that out. |
| 42 |
It appears that the purpose of arches.desc is to ease the pain |
| 43 |
of transitions between ARCH, ~ARCH and even wilder states. |
| 44 |
Names describing these transitions may things clearer to human |
| 45 |
readers. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
I can see downsides to that too because trasitions will be in both |
| 48 |
directions. e.g. arm64 is heading toward stable from the unknown, |
| 49 |
and x86 will soon be going in the other direction. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
A few nits. |
| 52 |
Initial value in the gentoo repository, |
| 53 |
On introduction, the setting will be "stable" for all stable architectures, "testing" for all architectures where "inofficial" |
| 54 |
"inofficial" -> "unofficial" |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Meaning of the values for repoman |
| 57 |
... |
| 58 |
This is the current behaviour and shall be the default if nothing is specified for an architecture. |

This is the current behaviour and shall be the default if nothing is specified in arches.desc for an architecture. |
