I don't know but, If you want to have quick return on problem on one package use the mailing list to say : "hey new package needs testing !! please report quick so I can put in current" instead of that ... >You dont realise how much more trouble you would have if everything >went straight to extra/current. > > I realise ! And I've seen ! for about a year I was in testing I mean all my package were in ultra bleeding edge testing without problem but for about a month since 2.6.14 it becomes messy >I like bleeding, and most of the time its not bad at all, a minor fix >or glance at the mailing list, homepage or wiki to fix it. > > I like bleeding too but I don't like people telling me such things !!!! Testings means test and for the example of 5.1 you take , 5.1 isn't a minor update ... more of it, 5.1.1 came closer from php dev team ... !! So maybe it needed tests ?! Maybe for just one day !!! The wiki / docs aren't up to date since all the changes ( hwdetect / hal / 2.6.14 / initscripts ... ) so don't say that !! >iphitus > > > >-- >iphitus - archck maintainer, arch trusted user. >Home:iphitus.loudas.com > >_______________________________________________ >arch mailing list >[email protected] >http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch > > _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
