What is the definition of "truly critical functionality"?
Hi,
I'm trying to mean what is meant by "truly critical functionality
problem" in Section 5.5.1 in the Debian Developer's Reference:
Extra care should be taken when uploading to stable. Basically, a
package should only be uploaded to stable if one of the following
happens:
* a truly critical functionality problem
* the package becomes uninstallable
* a released architecture lacks the package
Does this mean "release critical"?
For example, #920767, which causes e4defrag to crash on 32-bit
platforms. Relatively few people use e4defrag --- especially compared
to e2fsck or mke2fs. So is a fix for something which is a second-tier
aspect of e2fsprogs's functionality, and which only applies to 32-bit
platforms, something which is "truly critical"?
Thanks!
- Ted
