Hi all,
With regards to bug #304435[1], we would like to formalise the policy
for touching arch profiles' files.
The key suggested points:
* Archs profiles should generally only be touched by members of that
arch team, unless prior permission is given
* Exception: anyone may add a mask to an arch profile only if
- it delays visibility of something new for that arch (eg. dependencies
introduced in a version bump), and
- it is not reasonable to follow the standard keyword dropping
procedure (many other packages would be affected), and
- the responsible arch team is not responsive
* The person touching arch profiles is responsible for the subsequent
maintenance of said entries, and any subsequent breakage.
Thoughts?
Best regards,
Michael
