That's your opinion, which you're perfectly entitled to express. Others clearly disagree, so there isn't consensus by any stretch of the imagination. Mine is that the issues he raised should have been dealt with so that he didn't need to shout, and more importantly that QA was improved. Which was why he was shouting. And I'm not spouting off: if you expect us to deal with rude devs, they should at least be able to accept criticism from the best bug-wrangler you guys have.

The last arch dev keywording a package should then check as well whether the package: 1) is SLOTted. 2) has a history of having users choose specific versions (mask newer versions, basically) based on their own needs. If a package is not SLOTted, it is still not clear whether 2) is the case, so IMHO only the package maintainer should ever (yet diligently) clean up so-called "old" ebuilds.

While you may not find them useful, there have been 3 recent occasions of user requesting things get keyworded that I maintained on architectures where the packages didn't work. I don't know what these users did, but on all three occasions, I managed to step in and stop breakage from hitting the tree *because* I was in the chain of assignment/CC. I see no problem with some fake alias for keywording, provided the maintainers were still contacted first to allow them to say whether a package is indeed ready for stabilization. Remember, not all stabilization/keywording bugs come from other developers/maintainers. > > Once the last remaining arch has completed the bug, it is up to them to > > close it.

This only works on cases where the older ebuild isn't in another SLOT and nothing else requires it. Yes, it *should* be cool to do this, but I think cleaning up packages/ebuilds is something best left to the maintainer. You're always welcome to say something along the lines of "last architecture to stable, please remove $ebuild when you're done" on the bugs in question. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Are you thereby saying you don't care enough whether the arch teams stable your packages to keep track of it?

I disagree very much with this sentiment. There's many good reasons for wanting to leave more than one stable version in the tree. If you want the last arch team to remove the ebuild when they're done you can usually just state so in the keywording bug and the arch team will follow the request.

[gentoo-dev] [POLICY] Keywording/Stabilizing Bug Assignment Policy
I would like to take this time to note and re-affirm the proper bug assignment policy and have it noted somewhere officially in Gentoo Policy. Bugs that are created for the purpose of getting arches to keyword or stabilize a particular package should initially be assigned to the herd/maintainer of said package with all requested arches being CCed. Once all but the last arch has keyworded said package, it is acceptable and proper for a bug wrangler and/or maintainer/herd to re-assign the bug to the last remaining arch and they remove that arch from CC. They should add their herd/maintainer to the CC of the bug. Once the last remaining arch has completed the bug, it is up to them to close it. They know it's up to them to close it since the bug is assigned directly to them.

"Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned CoC at all since it seems to confuse a few people. We're not suspending jakub based on CoC but based on a long string of bad behaviour. That behaviour certainly violates the code of conduct in many cases but the suspension isn't based on CoC as such but rather the numerous devrel complaints and warnings he's already received." In short, the suspension is based on repeated bad behaviour during a long period of time and despite warning him several times there's been no improvement in his behaviour. That's why we're calling for a timeout with this suspension and hoping that jakub will reconsider his behaviour. Regards, Bryan Østergaard -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

You might find reading the Debian, and particularly, the Ubuntu Code of Conduct a worth-while execise. http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct I find it interesting that the mainstream media have also started publishing Codes of Conduct for their comment blogs. -- CS -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Correct. I was mystified as to why Jakub had received this treatment. During the relatively short time I have been on this list I have read almost all the postings. While some ofJakub's postings have certainly been somewhat acerbic, I do not recall any which I would classify as 'objectionable'. I just hope we are not going to get overly 'precious' about this CoC thing, which btw, I note contains the colloquial phrase 'If you screw up ...'. That sort of lazy slang language has no place in the official document set of any self-respecting organisation. Might I suggest it be replaced by something akin to 'If you discover you have made as mistake ...'. Also I noticed a simple typo: s/noone/no one/ in the previous paragraph. -- CS -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I would be grateful if somebody could refer me to the archive URL of the message which triggered this episode so I can make a personal judgment about it? I don't think I can be receiving all messages posted to this list. Thanks. -- CS -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
