Please only file a stabilization bug if (a) there are no open bug reports on the version you want stabilized (b) all dependencies of the that version can be satisfied with stable packages on the ARCH you want stabilized AND (c) at least 30 days have passed since the ebuild for that version has been modified. There has to be some time between an ebuild being available and it becoming stable to test on setups that aren't exactly like yours. I know (some) people want things declared stable ASAP, but declaring a package stable doesn't make it so and there are (many, many) people that want stable Gentoo to actually be stable. E.g. they do real work on the system. :P > Should this "replace-flags" stuff be reported when the package > compiles successfully with "-O3"? I fear you may find such bugs closed as WONTFIX/INVALID fairly quickly, especially if you started reporting en masse. That said, if you have a compelling reason to use -O3 instead of what it is replaced with (not just "it works for me") for a specific package, I'd say file the bug, but be sure to include the reason(s) the replacement doesn't work for you. -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh
