Package: gnulib Severity: wishlist
I suggest that this package be made volatile. At the moment it is updated precisely once a month, demonstrating its volatility. As a source library whose code is imported into projects at a time of the developer's choosing, it is suitable for arbitrary updates at arbitrary times. There are no upstream releases; the code is simply copied from upstream's VCS. Without volatility, the package in stable releases rapidly gets out of date, and users (who are developers) derive little benefit from stability (which in any case is illusory, since little is done in Debian to stabilising the package before release). -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-k7 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
