Description SpanKY gentoo-dev 2011-03-05 03:02:40 UTC

Comment 1 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2011-03-05 15:48:22 UTC
amd64 ok
Comment 2 Markos Chandras (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-03-06 11:55:57 UTC
amd64 done. Thanks Agostino

I think we dropped all stable keywords for a reason, see bug 301924 and bug 303112.
Comment 4 Markos Chandras (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-03-07 09:36:22 UTC
I wasn't aware of that. The reason seems stupid though.

reopen as amd64 should revert it's stable keyword too
Comment 6 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2011-05-02 16:54:14 UTC
if the only reason is that the pkg is binary-only and mirror-restricted, i agree that's a dumb reason to not go stable.

first off, binary-only is not a valid reason.  never has, never will.

if the package is currently fetchable, then stabilize it.  if it goes unfecthable, then stabilize a newer one.  if that isnt possible, then drop it.

I dropped the amd64 keyword back to testing
