Is there any need for the packages to go into stable without the X deps being fixed? Why not just open a bug for the package maintainer and mark it against whatever bug is requesting stabling of that package? Moving something to stable that you know is going to be broken within a relatively short timeframe seems like a very bad idea... -- Jason Stubbs -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
