I'd like to. Otherwise, its often hard to decide whether an update is *really* important or just "nice to have". Software is evil... ;-) This is one reason why I stopped pushing every available 'squid 4.12' patch. E.g., how many IPFire user are affected by "squid-Bug 503" (Negative caching caches errors from If-Modified-Since requests indefinitely) and is this a serious bug? For IPFire? Hm. Hard to tell. The same applies to 'dhcpcd'. Which release is important for us? > I do not think it makes sense to build every single release, because there = will always be another one. Yep. Especially for 'dhcpcd' there were over a dozen releases in the last half year. But who - and how to - decide(s) what "makes sense"!? Besides - apart from a few exceptions - I test almost every single patch before I upload it (yesterday's updates - libvirt, libusbredir, qemu- are for example such exceptions). And I often sent patches for errors that I could not reproduce in my environment. Only to prevent them from appearing with other users. > Should we limit ourselves to about one a month or something like that? This would be no problem for me. And it would save some traffic/noise on the list. As I wrote above: hard to tell...
