[20:48] <compengi> hi Armageddon
[20:48] <compengi> have you tried ubuntu 12.04
[20:51] <Armageddon> no
[20:51] <Armageddon> but I hear they fixed a lot of stuff
[20:52] <Armageddon> and I hear it still has a lot of problems
[20:55] <compengi> i see
[21:20] <compengi> Armageddon, are you using mint?
[21:28] <Armageddon> compengi, Gentoo
[21:28] <Armageddon> :p
[21:29] <Armageddon> I'm a contributor remember ?:
[21:32] <compengi> nice!
[21:33] <compengi> and what are you enrolled into?
[21:43] <Armageddon> architecture testing
[21:43] <Armageddon> I also have my own overlay now
[21:43] <compengi> hmm.. and what do you test there?
[21:44] <compengi> and nice about the overlay
[21:52] <Armageddon> I test packages for amd64 for stabilization
[21:52] <Armageddon> if I feel it's stable enough to become stable I give it my acceptance
[21:53] <Armageddon> 2 people testing a package will make it eligible to become stable, that's when the dev makes it stable and people have new updates :D
[22:25] <compengi> ah, cool
[22:25] <compengi> :)
[22:27] <compengi> gentoo packges used to be mostly outdated and lag few versions behind. what's the state now
[22:27] <compengi> are you a general 64bit tester or for specific packages
[22:28] <Armageddon> general
[22:28] <Armageddon> and no, gentoo packages were never outdated
[22:28] <Armageddon> the stable ones are but you have the choice of using unstable packages which are very up to day
[22:28] <Armageddon> date*
[22:29] <compengi> yep
[22:29] <Armageddon> so you can't really complain that they are not up to date
[22:29] <Armageddon> if you want them stable you have to use stables one, if you don't care for stability go unstable
[22:30] <Armageddon> I prefer hybrid systems, most of its components are stable and some applications that I want to be newest I have them unstable and latest
[22:36] <compengi> i used todo that with pidgin
[22:37] <compengi> are there still sometimes issues when you update core packages?
[22:37] <Armageddon> I do it with a lot of packages
[22:37] <Armageddon> there are never issues with updating, I never had any in 2 years now
[22:38] <Armageddon> but sometimes you have to issue commands which are usually given to you by messages
[22:38] <Armageddon> if you don't read the news/messages given to you by portage your system will most probably break
[22:40] <compengi> yeah, like the old days :)
[22:41] <compengi> sadly, i don't have spare time to play with linux anymore
[22:41] <compengi> i only have little time for me
[22:42] <compengi> i've been sitting on windows 7 for around 2 years now
[22:43] <compengi> i need it for work, so even there i don't have a chance to use linux
[22:44] <Armageddon> not cool at all
[22:49] <compengi> yeah, just not much interest anymore
[22:51] <compengi> so how are you doing overall
