but
a) god is an idea, not something that consciously effects the environment
b) there are hundreds of thousands of stray cats in the world, largely due to
irresponsible owners who think they can play with life for a while, then
abandon it. fewer kittens helps this problem. and,
c) I simply followed the example of the previous bump request. I've also seen
releases go unnoticed for longer than a week before. bumping 0day can't
possibly hurt anyone, I'm sure we simply intend it as a friendly helping hand
from those of us who care and can't help in other ways. no, we aren't being
selfish, demanding and impatient.
thanks for the hard work

As with most maintainers I'd suspect, we're subscribed to the mailing
list/prerelease information and or have a good relationship with upstream and
get told its coming on $x date. We still wait for the packages to be released,
but can get prepared for the 0 day bugs, which make developers cry!

Mmm, you're right. So I suppose the only time bumps are necessary is when the
maintainer is on vacation? For popular packages anyway. Next time I'll hold off
for a while, though that just means someone else will do it. 

I suppose what I want is some way to tell what's going on (not saying I deserve
it). Wikipedia just reminded me again how great it is to have a centralized
source of information - very updated and provides links to the most pertainent
articles. Sure you can search for more information, but everything there tells
you most of what you want to know with very little hassle. So rather than
searching through mailing lists, forums and bug records, it'd be nice to have
some kind of wiki-like thing on top of svn/cvs. Maybe a blend of
trac/sourceforge/freshmeat. Something that blends all the above into a well
organized repository for information regarding the project, and allowing user
input and discussion. Interesting idea anyway. If the world truly adopts
unanimous use of open source, something like that would be nice.

Don't mind me. Just dreaming out loud. (and in the wrong place)
Thanks again.

developers don't like 0day bugs, and that is undestandable. But right now there
is no other way for users to get notified on the progress of a version bump (if
there is, please enlighten me) other than constantly refreshing
packages.gentoo.org which is a pita. If for nothing else, this bug helps users
keep up with the changes via email.

Now I realize this is way OT, so I filed bug 159235 as a suggestion.

Is there any chance of getting aquamarine with this release?

I'm going to say no on aquamarine, it seems almost everyone is having crash
issues, rather not have a known buggy release added.

Should be committed and hitting the mirrors in the next few hours. Hopefully,
without digest problems this time. As nes stated, aquamarine is not being added
at this time. If it built and ran decently for a bit I'd add it, however that
is not the case at the moment. Though once it does work I will add it to the
tree as I know quite a few people who want their kde decorations.

bery-dbus seems to have a problem. See:
