It's generally fine with me; though I would handle it differently depending upon the situation. For example, sometimes these version bumps require some researching or testing for some fix or feature, and I really like to test or check out that first by myself, in such a cases, it could take a while for me to version bump and I also try to keep the user informed about it through the bug report (it has worked fine for me so far). If it is a straight bump with minimal changes, I could take care of it immediately , in either cases, I don't care the user filing an early request ... as long as they don't care how long it might take for me to get it into portage :-) | 2) If you had your way, would you discourage users from filing early | version bump requests? | No. It's fine with me. | ----- | | I know, it's not a particularly good survey, but I hope the plenty and | diversity of your answers will shed more light on the matter. :) | | | Thank you and kind regards, | JeR | | | [1] In fact I regularly use the opportunity to check on the HOMEPAGE | whether the release was security related, and I assign directly to | security@ when that is the case (CC'ing the package's maintainers) and | perhaps pasting ChangeLog or advisory info in a comment. - -- Luis F.
