Hello all. with the great and awesome work of Michael Palimaka (kensington) and the support of the wg-stable, for the stabilization process, some changes on our bugzilla have been done.
We have two new components: - Stabilization - Keywording When you will choose one of those, you will see two new fields: - Atoms to stabilize - Runtime testing required Atoms to stabilize needs to be filled in the following way: =CATEGORY/PACKAGE-VERSION so for example: =app-portage/eix-0.31.10 In this way all arches in CC need to stabilize the specified atom. When you have multiple atoms with different targets you need to do: =app-portage/eix-0.31.10 amd64 x86 =app-portage/portage-utils ppc In the following way, amd64 and x86 will stabilize only eix and ppc will stabilize only portage-utils. Runtime testing required (which is not mandatory) needs to be filled in the following way: - Yes, you are asking to run a package after have compiled/installed it. - No, you don't need runtime testing (e.g. packages that install only some files). Unfortunately there isn't an automated way to port all current stablereqs to those changes, so I will port them to the stabilization component and ask to fill properly the "Atoms to stabilize" and "Runtime testing required" fields in the next days. In the near future, we will produce a wiki page which describes how to properly request the stabilizations to ensure that they will be processed correctly. NOTE: I'm intending this message as a sort of announcement to invite everyone to port their stable requests. I guess there isn't much to discuss here. If you don't like some of the changes that have been done, please open a specific thread about. Thanks. -- Agostino Sarubbo Gentoo Linux Developer
