I wouldn't go so far. they could, but they probably won't want to deal
with the bugs themselves.
The reason i state this is just so that people from that community
could
get help easily.
also, it could kind of be there to help the iso packagers to make
working
release media.
Thanks for the reply Maarten.
Yes helping with out with the packagers, I imagine, is always welcomed.
Thanks

i guess i worded it a bit wrong; even though i said policy (and i kinda
believe in it like that as well; some kind of security guarantees for
mageia's
users), but i see it more like guidelines; like the RPM packaging wiki;
there's a policy on stuff, but in reality mdv packagers are pretty
free to do
it how they want.
Ah, I see. I guess at this point, we would have to have direction from
an SC member as to how to handle this situation. But, IMHO, we should
still keep the policies/guidelines as easy as possible as we would
like to get the distro into as many hands as possible.

Good idea to have some sort of policy on non-official ISOs, but I would
only be interested, at least initially, in helping distribute exact
copies of official ISOs. And those will have checksums (md5 and/or
sha1) available on Mageia respositories and official mirrors, that
anyone could verify. (Very small files to download.)
We should make sure that we verify any official ISOs that we distribute.
I'm sure that is what the German community does.
