testing/stable refers to the ebuild, not the upstream package. If you |
| 7 |
want the latest, install the ~arch ebuild and report any problems you |
| 8 |
find. That's how a community distribution works, you can't just expect to |
| 9 |
be given the latest package on the day of release without some effort on |
| 10 |
your part. The stable tree is for those who want tried and tested |
| 11 |
software and ebuild, version chasers should use testing. |

I run testing on three architectures with far less problems than I had |
| 14 |
with Mandrake Cooker (and I didn't have too many of those) so don't think |
| 15 |
that testing means unstable, unreliable or dodgy in some way. All it |
| 16 |
really means is unproven, and the only way for it to move from there to |
| 17 |
stable is for people to use it. |

Iraqi terrorist, Khay Rahnajet, didn't pay enough postage on a |
| 24 |
letter bomb. It came back with "return to sender" stamped on it. |

Forgetting it was the bomb, he opened it and was blown to bits. |
