I agree with you. Well, almost :). We need a way to validate package
submissions, and build them automatically. If the validation and
building go
~ okay then they go into this new tree. From the new tree they can be
automatically moved to unstable after, say 3 weeks. The move to
unstable
could be stopped by committer if someone deems it necessary, but
the idea
should be that things make the unstable tree unless someone stops it.
I also don't agree with the kamikaze name, Japanese users would
likely use
such a tree in preference to stable.
I like the idea of automatic validation and building before
automatically putting them in the new tree. The build process should
probably be monitored to look for things that get installed directly
into /sw without going through the fink.build directory first. I've
had a couple of draft .info files that did that until I sorted out
the install scripts.
I'm not wedded to the kamikaze name. How about "unvalidated", or
"very_unstable"?
