Ok, I could understand that none of the mips team are online when I want, but how about the bug mentioned above? One month I waited/begged/threat!!! For what? For some lousy script updates, which is not arch dependent anyway!Alin Nastac wrote:

Congratulations, you just took something that pissed you off personally and threw it up on the dev mailing list for the purpose of attempting to make a point where there is none. Never mind that for well over a week, you joined #gentoo-mips at least 6 hours before any of us in there would even be awake, said only "mips team ping", and then logged off 5 minutes later. You should have at least talked directly to somebody before getting so pissed off. Remember, when *you* want something, *we're* not likely to come track you down.
Not every package that I maintain is tested by me! How can I test a dsl driver when I have no such device!C'mon people, how hard can it be to see if it builds right on your arch?
So you are suggesting that we should mark something stable if it simply compiles? I really hope you don't apply this lazy method of QA to everything you maintain, else I fear for the users installing those packages. This is the main reason we didn't touch that package, because none of us had the ability to test pppoe. If you had actually made an attempt to talk to one of us when we were awake before running your mouth, you would have known this. In fact, we probably would have just given you permission to remove the keyword assuming that no repoman breakage resulted.
I apply the good old rule that if a package has no open bugs for a month, it will be marked as stable.
If I would do things you way, in this moment net-dialup would have at least 100 opened bugs with no one carrying about them. I urge you to look in bugzilla to see how many rightfully complaints are there regarding my work. Not as if I consider less about a dev who made a mistake (only who do nothing, does no mistakes)...
It is OK to want to make more than a simple compile test, but from this to doing nothing when a fellow dev ask you to IS a big distance! A convenient excuse, nothing more...
I didn't wanted to get so involved in this bug, but invalid bug reports started by the transition from -r2 are killing me. In rest, what do I care that your arch is outdated!
