Either the package is well tested, and should go into the tree, first with ~arch keywords, and then eventually with arch keywords, or it is experimental, and as such has to be outside of our main tree. Thus you can either want to test stuff by giving it more exposure, which implies the stuff is experimental, or you have stable stuff, but then you shouldn't be talking about the development cycle of the said software. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

I don't remember saying anything about _long_ ML threads. There are very few discussions, that can be carried for a long time when logic and technical side of arguments are strictly followed. However, with that said, I see nothing wrong with long threads, as long as parties involved progress, instead of repeating their own arguments over and over again or resorting to personal attacks (both of which are against formal logic rules). > Though I can't recall when it was the last > time I've seen that happen, anywhere. > Given that you are answering something I didn't say, this point becomes irrelevant.

Oh, and another idea is to have somewhat more real-time debates on IRC. Procedure could be fairly simple: it would still have a jury group overseeing it. Participants would get voice in turn, present their arguments and counter-arguments. If a participant repeatedly fails to answer opponent's arguments according to formal logic rules, he is denied further turns to speak. Ilya A.

It would be nice to have a discussion ML, which would have one simple rule enforced. Any discussion _must_ follow formal logic rules. Ensuring that rule is followed could be done in a few different ways. One example: There would be a small group overseeing discussion, and, solely on the basis of formal logic rules, would, for example, suspend a person for a day, in case of violations.

So, is this where "end justifies all means" comes in? Now, I understand you are finally unsubscribing, which is fine.

So, are you proposing to encourage people to do commits for the sake of commits? Make people do revbumps/keywording just to get their commits in, without doing proper testing? Or to hold on number of commits till commitfest? It's not the commits that should be encouraged - it's the bug fixing, and GWN section on bugzilla stats is pretty good.

[gentoo-dev] Keys and words: ways to fail your team
Comrades! Once more, I come before you with sad tidings. Evil anti-gentoo conspirators are plotting to destroy our wonderful distribution. Yet again they tried to subvert quality and integrity of our distribution by falsely claiming that certain packages build and run *gasp* stable *gasp* on platforms said saboteurs apparently do not even have access to. This time many packages in dev-dotnet were marked testing / stable on all arches, but thanks to the valiant struggles of our tireless arch teams, at least SPARC and MIPS have now been rescued from the iniquity of the apostate traitors on the x86 monoarchist payroll. Other arches have also been warned, and hopefully will be in time to save themselves, or at least recover the damages in timely manner. Comrades! For how long will we tolerate these wreckers among us? How much more patience shall we show? It is about time to stop such behavior once and for all! Let us join against the forces of evil and deal it a crushing defeat! Death to vermin! -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
