Bug 12661 – Ebuilds masked as ~arch that is necessary and are stable

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Bernardo S. A. Silva 2002-12-24 08:25:33 UTC]

Hello folks, merry christmas!!!

 I think that some masked packages can be used as stable a long time. It has
been tested and are VERY stable. The list that I have testes is:

 SDL-1.2.5 <- Very important to compatibility with some new games (csmash-0.6.5)
 alsa-driver-0.90.0_rc6
 alsa-libs-0.90.0_rc6
 alsa-utils-0.90.0_rc6

   Thanxs a lot... Bernardo Souza Alves da Silva.

what are you thinking about this guys ?

Well, I proposed marking alsa _rc6 as stable a few days ago on -core.  I'm all
for it; I think it's the most stable alsa that we've ever had.

Seemant, I'm a bit puzzled: can I unmask the alsa rc6 packages, and how does
that fit with the 1.4 release business? ;^)

Arcady,

if you feel it can be unmasked then go for it.

Well, I already unmasked the alsa packages (I created a separate bug for it: bug
12695).  Who maintains the SDL ebuild (I take it Bernardo is talking about
media-libs/libsdl)? [reasigning back to bug-wranglers]

sdl1.2.5 is stable on x86
