Filing bug reports is not a bad idea, even if the new package will go to
backports. Just explain a little why it is important (to fix this in a
stable release).
We probably need a new "version" in bugzilla because mga1+backports is
basically a new distro. A bug in backports shouldn't be filed against
"1" IMHO.
As I said in my original mail I really don't think backports is the
right approach.
I'd prefer to have a 3rd party repo than abuse backports to get the
missing packages.
I think updates would be the right place.
Please no 3rd repo :)
But i agree with you for updates for "new" packages ( no "new" versions ;) )
Indeed it's not good idea to suggest backports for novice users. +1 for updates repo if the
new package is just new thing and nothing is going to depend on it or will suggest it before
new Mageia release.
