I've written a python script that detects the stabilization of a package when it matches the following criteria: - it is installed (sure) - portage is advised to use its unstable keyword version (/etc/portage/package.keywords) - the installed version is no longer ~arch but rather arch Thoughts: I don't know exactly if it should for later versions available in his branch, because that would make the reason for the script senseless: Giving users the chance to use the stable branch of a package as soon as it stabilizes. Miscellanious: I never played with the portage API before and my python code looks rather than shit, but hey... ;) Demoscenario: I have installed wmii from an overlay directory; I set KEYWORDS=~x86 and made it available through `echo "x11-wm/wmii ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords'. Installation, everything ok. Now I went back to the ebuild, making the package stable for x86 and there we are after estab: [~/development/estab] :) ./estab * I found packages that have been stabilized since your * installation of them as unstable ones. If you want to * switch to the stable branch of an affected package, you * have to remove its entry in package.keywords. * If you want to keep track of the unstable branch, just * ignore this warning and update your world. The following package have stabilized: * x11-wm/wmii-20060705 [~/development/estab] :)
Created attachment 94228 [details] estab estab stabilization detector
Created attachment 100227 [details] estab-r1 Changes: - Read possible unstable-keywords on the fly - Enhanced checklist generation (should be faster now...?) - Cleaned up a bit in general
There is now a small website and a distribution tarball here: http://saeurebad.de/~hannes/estab.html
(this is an automated message based on filtering criteria that matched this bug) 'EBUILD' is in the KEYWORDS which should mean that there is a ebuild attached to this bug. This bug is assigned to maintainer-wanted which means that it is not in the main tree. Heuristics show that no Gentoo developer has commented on your ebuild. Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely manner. There are simply too many new packages. Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =) Because this is a mass message, we are also asking you to be patient with us. We anticipate a large number of requests in a short time. Thanks, On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team, Jeremy.

The URL is no longer available app-portage/nattka is now in the tree https://github.com/mgorny/nattka/ I think it is the best to close this ticket.
