Description Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-02 17:53:40 UTC 
@mips, either drop your stable keywords or please keep up with security/keywording bugs. You are causing tree-wide bloat and keeping vulnerable outdated junk in the tree.

> dont file stupid bugs

Such as Bug 134077? Don't see any difference whatsoever here...

Lets reopen this since more and more people are getting concerned about this issue.
Comment 4 Ciaran McCreesh 2008-01-07 00:56:26 UTC 
Is there any purpose to this bug other than to generate lots of bugzilla noise?

Yes, to keep track of old bugs that can not be resolved due to MIPS not following through on them.  This is not the place to go into a long discussion, so if you want to have that, please continue on gentoo-dev@.  Thanks
Comment 6 Ciaran McCreesh 2008-01-07 01:03:44 UTC 
Uh, I don't want a discussion. I want people to stop using this bug because its only purpose is to let jakub waste people's time and annoy everyone.
Comment 7 Mark Loeser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-25 03:11:58 UTC 
The MIPS team is addressing this as they can, so QA's work here is done.  We can't possibly do anything to help the process along.  vapier is working on the exp profile concept as well.

mips ~arch-only now, closing.
