The "what can I do" question is not relevant here because I simply can not make the commitment. I posted this questions as a user, not all users have the time. And I'll try to repeat: I'm not whining, I'm just asking for a reason. I did not know that some developpers left recently and now I understand the situation. I did not know Gentoo had those problems.
So my suggestions: - Document the use of ~arch better. It seems to me that the arch tree is more stable now and that the idea of ~arch which was very broken years ago is now more stable. (I'm a user since 1.4rc3) - Open more metabugs that document the requirements of stabilization for the largest packages. Report about that policy to all users and actively ask them to cooperate there. Bart -- [email protected] mailing list
