IMHO, official packages for a release are in: Mandrake/<release> and Mandrake/updates/<release> on the official mirrors. like: ftp://mandrake.redbox.cz/Mandrake/updates/9.2/RPMS/ > We're about to finish the distro for the 64 architecture ... and then > cooker will reopen again ... so the packages will be updated ... in the > meanwhile use my web site .. if you need those packages ... IMHO this should not be necessary, broken packages which can be fixed should be fixed by bugfix updates. I would like to know when these packages will be available as official updates for 9.2. Otherwise, when does the official time for starting support for 9.2 start? It seems at present real support for a distro can only be guaranteed for 2 distros concurrently (ie at present 9.0 and 9.1). 8.2 has been unsupported for a few weeks now, but I want to upgade servers running 8.2 to something that will be supported for more than a year (and no, the clients can't afford CS 2.1, but might manage a ProSuite). It doesn't seem that 9.2 is supported yet ... (Note, I can happily support my own machines, but I can't sell solutions to clients and say that I am their only means of supporting their machines if they have paid for a product - so this is more of a complaint about business than about the packages themselves) If the packages are in QA, that's fine (my ProSuite order hasn't shipped yet I guess), but your answer implied there would not be updates (only new packages in cooker).
