Updated ebuild found on http://kuroo.org/kuroo/browser/ebuilds. Also, please mark it as stable for amd64.
This one? *kuroo-0.80.2 (13 May 2006) 13 May 2006; Carsten Lohrke <carlo@gentoo.org> +kuroo-0.80.2.ebuild: Version bump. >Also, please mark it as stable for amd64. When an ebuild enters the tree we have a minimum period of ~30 days without major bugs, before it is allowed to go stable. While this is given, I'm unsure about it, since I don't use it and Portage frontends could cause severe system breakage. Karim, do you have any negative feedback on this version? How much feedback do you have at all?
Hum, for the breakage risk... at least on x86 seems safe here, even if I use it more to mantain/unmerge packages than to update them. However 80.3 should be not far away, I translated it the 20 of july, according to my mail should be released on August-September.
If you want a stabilization, just ask for it, however as carlo said, 30-day rule.
Do you want -r1?

kuroo-0.80.2 etc-update functionality went broke with portage-2.1 upgrade. 0.80.3 will fix that. Apart from that kuroo seems to do just fine.
With portage 2.1 in stable, do maintainers still want kuroo ~0.88.2 to go stable?

(In reply to comment #8) > Maybe kuroo-0.80.2 could be stable on portage-2.0.* but not for 2.1*. There is only stable. Not stable X and stable Y. Portage won't be slotted. And everyone should run 2.1. The only reason the 2.0 version is still in the tree is, that systems not having been updated for several months, can't directly update to Portage 2.1. Portage team: Could you comment on this? From my point of view Portage frontends should check a variable to find out, if they're compatible with a particular version. Does EAPI encompass cmd/parameter compatibility? Currently EAPI is set to zero. Does this mean Portage 2.1 or does the value zero still mean legacy Portage crap? Are there connections to frontend developers to ensure they have the necessary information to have compatible versions of their frontends ready, a while before a particular Portage (major) version goes stable?
EAPI is concerned with ebuilds <-> portage compatibility, not frontends.
(In reply to comment #6) > kuroo-0.80.2 etc-update functionality went broke with portage-2.1 upgrade. > 0.80.3 will fix that. AFAIK, portage-2.1 handles config file updates in essentially the same way as previous versions, so I have no idea what incompatibility kuroo is experiencing. Anyway, anyone using less than portage-2.1 should upgrade as soon as possible. There's no good reason to continue using an older version.

Any news on the stabilizing Kuroo front? Is there a reason it is masked?
> Any news on the stabilizing Kuroo front? Is there a reason it is masked? Latest version kuroo, from site (http://trac.kuroo.org/kuroo/browser/ebuilds/kuroo-svn-0.81.ebuild?format=raw), works fine for me on amd64.

That's an svn ebuild, so we won't be adding it to portage. (In reply to comment #15) > (In reply to comment #14) > That is good news :). Does it mean kuroo kan be unmasked for x86 too? Kuroo *isn't* masked, it's just not stabilised. Arch teams, please stabilise app-portage/kuroo-0.80.2-r1.
x86 stable
(In reply to comment #17) > x86 stable > That is excellent news, thank you very much!
Charlie: Did you read this bug at all? Kuroo isn't even fully Portage 2.1 compatible, so I don't really see, how you can ask for stabilisation. Moreso Karim stated in forums.g.o¹ that he doesn't even have time for the project anymore, so it may be dead already. [1] http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-533197.html

I assummed from Karim's "That's fine for kuroo then." that it was... sorry if I misunderstood. > Moreso Karim stated in forums.g.o¹ that he doesn't even have time for the > project anymore, so it may be dead already. Yeah I noticed when digging around in svn nothing has been commited for the past 3 months.
(In reply to comment #21) > I assummed from Karim's "That's fine for kuroo then." that it was... sorry if It may doesn't matter when minor functionality of some application doesn't work, but a frontend for Portage, that is more or less directed at new users and not updating configuration files correctly - guess who is stepping up, complaining about a fubared system and having no clue why, in the worst case.

Same for amd64. Sorry guys.
Same for sparc, we have no stable.
Noone's left here, no reason to leave this open.
Will the x86 stable status be revoked?
The rumour of Kuroo's death have been greatly exagerated! There is a new developer in town: Agathezol Regards, /Karim (initiator and maintainer of Kuroo)
