Hi,
I currently maintain the netbeans-beta package in the AUR. I was wondering, since netbeans was updated to 8.0 today (not yet in the official repositories), whether I should leave it at the latest development release (rc1) or upgrade to stable. Of course if/when 9.0 beta is released I will upgrade to that, but I don't know what the package should be in the meanwhile. Are there any official guidelines about this? (I wasn't able to find them on the wiki.)
Thanks,
Evert Van Petegem
What are you trying to give to your users? Are you intending to provide a "currently beta if there is one" package or are you intending to provide a "forever beta" package? In the latter case I, personally, would think twice if I really wanted to use the package. cheers! mar77i
