Guys,
We've had a bunch of patches breaking staging now. This is
problematic because it holds up other patches from getting into
master. In turn, this holds up a release because I feel weird
about making a release when there's half a dozen patches waiting
to go into master. And right now, this holds up widespread
testing of various release-critical fixes for GUB.
Patchy is supposed to be a *safety* net, not a trampoline. The
idea is not to jump up and down on it.
I know that building the documentation is a hassle. I know that
it may or may not properly track the dependencies. I know that
the messages may not be as informative as they could be (although
I really benefitted from Phil's recent logfile work to find the
most recent breakage in staging).
But please consider testing your patches a bit more before sending
them in.
