2012/6/26 Thomas Backlund <[email protected]>: Hi there
> So, > we have been discussing this many times, and not gotten any > satisfactory decision to go ahead yet... > So we had our weekly meeting yesterday and backports were in topics list. logs : http://meetbot.mageia.org/mageia-dev/2012/mageia-dev.2012-06-27-19.11.html Here are all the point now we agreed on: - backports will be opened, supported with security updates and bugfix - opening backports for mageia 1 too, but users should be aware that it can potentialy create problems when upgrading, and may need to fix some problems manually - it is planned to add a warking when activating a backport media in drakrpm-edit-media, with checkbox to tell "don't warn anymore" - work is needed to add support for automatic updates of installed backports - mailing list will be created for backports announces - QA will provide updated backport validation procedure in the following days So discussion is now closed :). QA is waiting now for volunteers to help on validating backports. No QA, no backports! Also we need volunteers to work on https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2317. At the moment QA can hardly manage updates and backports while this is not solved. So again volunteers needed! Cheers -- Anne http://www.mageia.org
