We're thinking of applying this to Java because we have a massive
workload ahead of us and stabilization is making life even harder. I
intend to draw up a policy to outline when it should and shouldn't be
used; something along the lines of only pure Java (no native code) and
no calls to System.getProperty("os.arch"). Just want to confirm a
couple of things about it first.
Initial keywording still requires explicit testing on each arch, but
not necessarily by someone on the arch team, correct?
If an ebuild is stabilized for a bunch of archs through the use of
ALLARCHES but then some non-arch team member tests it on another arch
later (after the bug is closed), can they add the keyword as stable
immediately? If not then why not?
I tried to find the council meeting minutes where this was discussed
but to no avail. :(
