I think it's probably the same as release freeze. That's when we all have to justify pretty much everything. Until that point we can all break things via provides/requires as much as a new package so I think this is the correct point to call a cut off for new packages (of course exceptions can always be made - the main risk with new packages is that they provide something (in the spec) that is also provided by another package and thus are pulled in accidentally - if this can be shown to be very unlikely to cause problems for a given package then it could get an exception. Obviously we should not encourage this :) Col -- Colin Guthrie colin(at)mageia.org http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited http://www.tribalogic.net/ Open Source: Mageia Contributor http://www.mageia.org/ PulseAudio Hacker http://www.pulseaudio.org/ Trac Hacker http://trac.edgewall.org/
