There is a site (http://gentoo.tamperd.net/stable/index.php) that lets us find outdated unstable keywords and mark them stable. Things in ~arch have to be left there for at least a couple weeks to make sure problems don't crop up -- generally, the thing is that we know it works if there are no negative bug reports, and so "it works" bug reports are only useful on alternate architectures (if you're testing stuff on AMD64 that's marked unstable for an extended period of time despite being stable on other architectures, a bug report informing us of the fact is very handy) -- Jon Portnoy avenj/irc.freenode.net -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
