I often recognize that a package, that has been marked stable is not on the list of stable packages (e.g. http://packages.gentoo.org/archs/x86/stable/). This happens when this package has been marked stable for another arch afterwards at the same day. For me this is anoying, since when I start my system at evening I look into this list and decide, if a sync is needed. But especially important fixes are very often marked stable for many arches at the same day and I can't see them then. Please fix.
I would need for you to provide an example please.
Sure. Current example is mysql-5.0.40 It has been marked stable for ppc64 and afterwards for x86. Thus, it's listed here: http://packages.gentoo.org/archs/x86/stable/ But not here: http://packages.gentoo.org/archs/ppc64/stable/ Hope, this helps...
The new packages.g.o makes this moot.
