I re-read the backports policy, and there's a part I think needs to be pointed out before people start to backport packages.
"We need to ensure that upgrades never fail: cauldron must always have a higher version/release than in stable releases." This statement is true, but implies more than what it says. It means that we can't backport a package for Mageia 1 with a higher version than what we have in Mageia 2 release (and updates?) media. And this, until we are able to take backports into account during upgrades. Example : - Mageia 2 has wesnoth 1.10.2 in core/release - Mageia 1 can't get a higher version in its backports media Do you all agree with my understanding of the policy ? This is a serious limitation to our ability to backport to Mageia (n-1) and even to our ability to provide security fixes to backports there (will not prevent it, but will prevent to do it by a version upgrade, which is the common way to fix that kind of issue in backports). Maybe we shouldn't open backports for Mageia 1, and make sure upgrade to Mageia 3 can take backports from Mageia 2 into account so that backports to Mageia 2 are not stopped when Mageia 3 is released. Then we'll be safe. Samuel
