Very true and while I don't think my post disagreed with you your |
| 16 |
clarification is timely. It's unclear to me whether there is a |
| 17 |
specific dev policy about exactly what has to happen to have an ebuild |
| 18 |
marked as stable but my understanding has been that then Gentoo devs |
| 19 |
do different things like wait for some number of users to download it |
| 20 |
and/or watch bug reports for some period of time ensuring there aren't |
| 21 |
too many problems, etc., before marking the ebuild as stable. Is that |
| 22 |
roughly correct? |
