Project:Base/Package notes

Summary
Given  maintains a lot of critical packages, it makes sense that some of them need special care. This page is to gather some notes on these.

General rules

 * Please avoid generating  for our packages because of possible circular dependencies.
 * Please get an acknowledgement ("ACK") from a member of the team before changing a package which is maintained by the project.
 * Avoid using new EAPIs for a period.

Packages
This is a general table, while certain package suites/groups may belong in a new table.

autotools
New major versions of autoconf and automake generally need to be masked as they break a large number of reverse dependencies.
