I think we will have a better chance communicating to our users the need for feedback about package stability after we've made this initial Jaguar release. The one thing which I see a critical for this release is the recent xfree86-base-4.2.1.1-1 package. (It's critical because it fixes a problem in XFree86 which has been reported for the next update of OS X.) So I hope that many Fink developers will test this package and send their feedback to Jeff, so that he can move the package to stable at an appropriate moment. We will also need system-xfree86 to be moved to stable prior to a release. But once those two packages are in place, I think we could go ahead with the 0.5.0 release.I think we still need to deal with our 'cups' package.
We don't have a cups package in the 10.2 tree, just to clarify this.
As I stated on IRC. It's fine by me to put in such a package, however, the name "system-cups" is IMO not appropriate. Rather it should be called "cups-headers" or "cups-dev".We should just use Apple's libraries and binaries, but provide the headers ourselves. (I think there is a package in experimental/rangerrick/).
Reasoning: We so far used the system- prefix only for pure placeholder packages, i.e. packages of type "nosource" or "bundle". I am strictly in favor of keeping it this way.
But besids this, I am all for it.
