@arches, I've just taken over maintenance of {web,user}min and while there are some nasty bugs out there on stable versions, I'd like to revert this to an unstable status. I intend to leave it there for a while until I am confident that long-standing issues have been resolved. Please keyword ~arch all versions of usermin and webmin. Thanks
For reference, see bugs 193007, 194305, 204431, 207674 and 210801.
Wouldn't that be tantamount to package.masking it in profiles/? And if so, why don't you go ahead and do that? :)
back to unstable on ppc64

I don't really think the problems are so serious to warrant a package.mask right now.

Still wondering why you didn't do it yourself in one go: all that current policy requires is that you notify arch teams when you degrade keywords, not that you actually wait for the arch teams to do it. :)

done, thx

what are you doing ? you can't drop stable just for fun

Replay of Comment #1 ... For reference, see bugs: Bug #193007 Bug #194305 Bug #204431 Bug #207674 Bug #210801. (Gosh I hope the above embeds the url to the actual bug ... manually entering urls is a pain!)
(It worked. ;-) Also note, new version of webmin out... Current version in portage is webmin-1.40 New version is webmin-1.430 This might fix some long standing bugs!
i do agree with comment #9 ! If you wish remove stable keywords from applications that have bugs, i'm pretty sure 99.99% (and i just stopped at 2 decimals) of portage should be unstable and check that: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" emerge -pv vlc These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! ... [ebuild U ] media-video/vlc-0.9.8a [0.8.6i-r2] USE="X a52 ... With a total of 11 open bugs (all versions) (you may notice i was nice enough to take vlc as example, and not the kernel, gcc or glibc) To me webmin is working fine, the only bug i care about is http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=210801 And i don't really think the comment from diego is helping, ok bugzilla might be for programmers, so i don't see the point he is trying to show, the comment from cilly is irrevelant to me, as webmin is working with the same content in /etc/pam.d/webmin on my computer. So i just "guess" that "might" be a security problem or something like that, but i don't know why/how... So don't be surprise if i (a user) don't understand why you do that. Specially for an application that have "only" 6 open bugs
there seems to be no real bugs opened now ( 2 years later ) and webmin is still masked ? why ?
