Description Daniel Webert 2004-06-05 07:05:48 UTC
app-arch/cabextract-1.0 version bump
Comment 1 Jerome Vinchon 2004-06-05 13:24:46 UTC
You have requested 4 version bumps today:
1 for app-misc/banner
1 for mail-mta/msmtp
1 for net-p2p/chub
1 for app-arch/cabextract
without even providing ebuilds for them.

I think you should realise that the purpose of bugzilla is not to harass the gentoo developers, but to help resolving bugs or propose enhancements.
Comment 2 Daniel Webert 2004-06-05 14:23:47 UTC
- these are only version bumps which don't need a separate ebuild - a copyquick of the last ebuild works fine
- and plz no further discussion in bugzilla - lets meet in irc/pm

Jerome, if a package has been updated upstream for several days,
it is often quite helpful to the developers if someone who uses the
package will submit a bug that states a) there is a new version of xxx package version yyy and b) a simple copy of the ebuild works on zzz architecture.
If it is a very popular package, like nvidia drivers and a dozen people post a bug 
begging for an update, this gets annoying, but the submissions I've seen from Mr. Webert have been genuinely useful. Thanks for understanding.
