Agreed, the automatic preference of urpmi for plf when plf is enabled is something I have always appreciated on Mandriva, so I would prefer if we keep it similar in Mageia. The only plf package (and I make heavy use of plf packages) I ever had to put in skip.list was libfreetype since the mdv one rendered fonts better on my hardware. > Well, the old simple logic works... > > lets say we "abuse" the release tag, for example changing "mga" to > "mgt" > then if the user enables "tainted" (meaning he/she wants the rpms) > urpmi > will automatically get the "mgt" ones, no questions asked... > > simple, and effective. mga / mgt seems the best solution to me, just like Thomas says: simple and effective! -- Mageia ML Forum Gateway: http://mageia.linuxtech.net/forum/
