An ebuild promoted to stable is because an arch team (or a privileged maintainer to do it individually) has put a keyword in place. The person that puts that keyword in place, defines that the ebuild is stable at that specific point in time. However; this does not imply that as the ebuild gets older, that this doesn't come without problems; neither does it imply that the software is totally working. Software is rarely completely without bugs. > As i said earlier, problem begins when we NEED to stabilize something > to prevent breakages and arch teams are slow. Yes; there is a big correlation between breakages in old versions and stabilization, in both ways. -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : tom...@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
