It's not /simply/ older than 30 days. They have to be ~ARCH for /at least/ 30 days, so that ~ARCH users have plenty of time to find and file bugs that exist. It's rather hard to say a package is stable before it's gone through the ~ARCH users cleanly, so I'd say that "stable" implies "older than 30 days" therefore "stable and older than 30 days" == "stable". So, really, stable gentoo packages are stable as the name says. :) (That said, I love my ~amd64 machine; but I regularly upgrade and have enough time to file most to all of the bugs I find.) -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
