I have some questions about the page http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=qa_updates "It's a new package fixing a bug (security or not) or adding a missing feature." Adding a missing feature is not part of a update as we defined it so this part seems strange to me, could this one be clarified ? "Don't forget to enable the i586 medias on x86_64 systems" I do not understand why is should be needed ( except for nspluginwrapper ). Is there something to watch for when doing this ? "Write an validation message" I do not understand what is the validation message about, could we clarify the goal of the message, or add a example ? "Rewrite the advisory for the secteam (ask the developper to provide the advisory if missing)" IIRC, the advisory should have been provided by the packager ( according to the others page ), so why rewrite it ? Isn't it a left over ? Unless what it mean "check that the packager said something that normal people will understand" ? Also, on the page, "developer", is "upstream developer", or "packager who take care of the update" ? -- Michael Scherer
