Description Olivier Crete (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-10-19 13:36:24 UTC
I'm very annoyed at the recent practice of masking packages without comment by
"~"ing some architectures in the ebuild without making any comment or giving
users any feedback on the reasons.
Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2002-10-19 14:41:20 UTC
the purpose for using ~ means 'test this' 
 
why comment it when the comment will just read 'please test this' 
Comment 2 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-10-19 14:55:25 UTC
As a user I find it very very annoying when packages are added unmasqued and
then masqued the next day.
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2002-10-19 19:48:55 UTC
ok, well if we think something is good to go but then a user proves us wrong 
the next day, how would you like us to handle it ? 
Comment 4 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-10-19 22:08:21 UTC
Errr... I dont know ;)... You've got a point... but maybe document it then.. not
just mask it...
