The reason cdrtools-3.01_alpha17 cdrtools-3.01_alpha24 and are still in the tree is because they are the latest versions with stable keywords for s390, sh and arm64.

Mark s390/sh stable.

arm64, initial support


These versions are quite old and I am thinking about removing them. Would it be okay to drop this old versions and effectively move cdrtools to testing for your archs? Btw, are there any reasons there are no stable keywords for the newer versions?

These arches all profiles are unstable, you don't need to ask permission to drop their newstable. Unstable profile means they usually don't even get CCed to new version stabilization bugs and they do it at their own leisure and pace, with it being OK to drop their only stable version.
Comment 2 Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2017-02-18 14:13:30 UTC
s/newstable/only stable version/
That said, I hope to change that for arm64, but it's fine for now until it doesn't have stable profiles.

Thanks Mart, I just wasn't sure about the current policy regarding the keywords of stable vs. unstable arches. I just have removed the older versions.
