I just ignore the arches these days. After all, they ignore me. dhcp clients where modified to be independant of baselayout and arches had stable bugs for these. baselayout-1.12 then went stable even though the required dhcp clients for the more obscure arches did not. As of right now, baselayout-1.12 is stable on arm, but udhcpc will not work on it unless they use unstable udhcpc. Another example - kbd-1.12-r8 has a patch to fix loading unimaps, which a user submitted patch for console font needs. I've just filed a stable request for it even though r7 has got an outstanding stable bug for almost 2 months. How long should I wait before I wang a fixed consoelfont script into baselayout that relies on this? With all the of the above considered, imagine the irony of me filing a stable bug for kbd-1.12-r8 and someone stabling it on sparc :P -- Roy Marples <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo Developer (baselayout, networking) -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
