Dear arch-team-members. Please mark the mentioned package stable. You might wonder about my request to mark -r5 stable while I just committed it today. Well, it contains a tiny patch from Debian for a problem reported by a user stating that evms won't start on kernel >=2.6.19. But I couldn't reproduce it and the patch doesn't change much and isn't really kernel-related either. Since kernel 2.6.19 is going stable, I would like to ask for -r5 being marked stable. If you don't agree, please mark at least -r4 stable (which also adresses a couple of potential problems for newer kernel versions). Starting from 2.5.5-r4 a src_test() has been added to hopefully make it easier for you to test, but you'll have to setup before. Please read the comments written in the ebuild or wait until they get displayed :-) Thanks in advance!
