Description Maciej Piechotka 2014-02-21 01:56:09 UTC
I've noticed that 0.8.6 is marked as stable for some architectures. This version contains known problems and it would be advisable to update to at least 0.8.8.

That's 0.6.8, you mean? Or 0.8.4?
Comment 2 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2014-02-21 20:49:38 UTC
We have 0.12.0 in the tree, regarding the stabilization... it depends on the resources of the arch team relevant to you. What arch are you using? (x86 and amd64 already have 0.10.5 in stable)

~amd64 so I'm not affected. It's more that we (libgee upstream) fixed a few bugs between 0.8.4 and 0.8.8 so it would be nice if stable in Gentoo did not contained a known bugs on any arch.

(Of course update to 0.10/0.12 is recommended as 0.6/0.8/0.10 branches won't get patches back-ported)

0.8.4

The situation won't get improved as soon as the relevant arch teams are so understaffed that are not able to stabilize that newer versions there... (and the policy regarding stabilizations doesn't change for that arches)
Comment 5 Maciej Piechotka 2014-02-21 21:35:40 UTC
So we're not the only understaffed FLOSS project out there - what a surprise ;)

Ok. I thought that it's something easy as it's just bug fixes but it looks like even gentoo-sources are not updated to newest point release.
Comment 6 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2014-02-21 21:47:40 UTC
Well, if you know about someone that could at least do arch testing on anything but amd64, that would help :) (I failed trying that :'( )
