actually i sent that to soon - there are two other things i would make issue of
'flashrom' is an arch package, so we can not modify the pkgdesc without adopting the package - i assumed that the pkgdesc of 'flashrom' in this thead was the one arch uses; but it is not so we can not use it for comparison the arch pkgdesc: > Utility for reading, writing, erasing and verifying flash ROM chips the problem is that both packages meet that description - though the proposed pkgdescs did not mention 'verifying'; so it is not clear if they both have that feature then upon reading them more closely, what is evident per the proposed descriptions, is that 'flashrom' has _all_ features of 'flashrom-stable' and _more_ - that implies to me that 'flashrom-stable' has no value to parabola, which is the reason i began making a fuss about it in the first place so again, per those descriptions, it appears that its only value to parabola is "its not as rusty" (though that is probalby not a good rationale, and the pkgdesc does not mention that anyways) so, i think this should be revised again, so that it somehow clarifies any rationale for 'flashrom-stable' ie: what is the tangible benefit of 'flashrom-stable', if it only removes features if it adds no new functionality, but only removes some? _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.parabola.nu/mailman/listinfo/dev
