Description Jonathan Smith (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-20 10:29:40 UTC
hppa, mips, ppc64, osx, please test and ~arch if appropiate (its just a bunch of styles, so i don't forsee any problems)

amd64, please mark stable if appropiate

thanks for all the hard work

Added ~hppa
Comment 2 Stephen Becker (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-20 19:04:39 UTC
Ok, so I'm not going to comment in all these bugs you have opened, however I
will say here that we don't added ~arch keywords unless A) actual users of said
arch are requesting it, B) it is required for repoman deps of something else, or
C) I want to use the package myself.  Adding keywords for the sake of nothing
but keywording causes a lot of extra work for arch teams, and usually ends up
with keywords being removed in the future from neglect of the package.  In other
words, there is no good reason at this point in time that I should add ~mips
keywords to all this stuff.

the packages (there are only 5 of them) are all very basic and simple, in some
cases consisting only of files which don't need to be compiled... pictures and
style data

the guide for fluxbox that i wrote mentions these packages; i simply wanted
anyone, regardless of arch or ~arch, to be able to use them.

this being said, if you find it infeasable or undesirable, then thats ok too.
your arch, your decision.

Irrelevant.  They still require maintainence on our part with version bumps,
bugfix keyword requests, etc.

And if anyone on mips wants to use them, they'll file a keywording bug.  Since
there has been absolutely no demand to this point, I don't see a reason to add
them to our tree for no reason other than some guy writing a doc wants me to. 
As it is, I already maintain gnome and most anything else X related on mips with
basically no demand for it, which is almost more than I can handle as it is with
my limited time.  I'm almost to a point where I'd rather see some things get
keywords removed.
