Description Frank Krömmelbein 2017-03-25 09:54:50 UTC

Already a very long time in the tree and no open bugs.

Comment 1 Frank Krömmelbein 2017-05-06 14:20:18 UTC

Ping.

Stabilization for x86 and amd64 will be covered here:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619492

It would have been nice if this ticket here had been done long ago.
So that stabilizations for security reasons, as here with kodi, are not unnecessarily delayed or need extra effort because actually uncritical dependencies were not stabilized in time ...

This package provides only static ttf/otf files, so I have marked it stable on all archs.

It didn't delay the security bug at all.

Also, it is up to kodi's maintainer to ensure that the necessary dependencies are stable when processing a stable request.
