<arch team member opinion> But both of suggested solutions will break the whole idea of stabling. Dropping packages to unstable on regular basis will annoy our users. If we have old stable package, it builds and works correctly in new environment(new gcc, glibc etc), then i do not see the point in rushing things up, unless there are some more critical things, that needs new version of this package. Stable should be reasonable. Each new version of package contains bugfixes, it is true. But we should note, that new versions(even so-called bugfix releases) can also bring new bugs. </arch team member> -- Best regards, Sergey Popov Gentoo developer Gentoo Desktop Effects project lead Gentoo Qt project lead Gentoo Proxy maintainers project lead
