Stabilisation exceptions
1.
Reasoning
Some packages need a special setup or hardware to be tested
properly. As the architecture teams can add no real additional
testing, some maintainers or teams may be allowed to mark
packages stable themselves under the following conditions:
- The prerequisites of stabilisation policy still apply.
- The architecture must be available in hardware to have at least a compile test.
- Several USE flag combinations must be compiled.
- Basic operation should be tested on the actual hardware.
Permissions can be requested by anyone with a good reason on the
x86 alias. We will discuss it and give our ok/denial.
