I've been using unison-2.13.16 daily for almost a year on amd64 with no issues. It is stable on x86, ppc, and sparc, and I believe should be stable on amd64 as well. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. view /usr/portage/net-misc/unison/unison-2.13.16.ebuild 2. observe line 13: KEYWORDS="x86 ppc ~amd64 sparc" 3. experience overwhelming sense of jealousy of the other archs Actual Results: My ego was distressed Expected Results: I want to see amd64, not ~amd64

07:49 <+gentoofan23> uh, is unison(bug #208272) ready to go stable? Or would a newer version be better to go with? 07:49 <+jeeves> gentoofan23: https://bugs.gentoo.org/208272 enh, P2, AMD64, bugs@whistlin.com->amd64@gentoo.org, NEW, pending, net-misc/unison-2.13.16 should be stable on amd64, like all other archs 07:51 <+aballier> I'm not really sure; newer versions fixed some bugs 07:51 <+aballier> cant remember 07:51 <+aballier> but there is unison slotting on my todo list :( 07:52 <+gentoofan23> ah, so it might be best to wait a bit? 07:52 <+aballier> it depends; if I were you I would put this down in my priority list 07:52 <+aballier> I need to find an eselect guru first ;p 07:52 <+aballier> (for the slotting) 07:53 <+gentoofan23> alright, I'll RESO LATER the bug RESO LATER
When you guys update the Unison ebuilds, I'd like to suggest that you don't remove the ebuild for 2.13.16 because Unison requires compatible versions when syncing between machines. For example, Debian stable supplies a version compatible with Gentoo's 2.13.16, but not the later versions.
