Viviane is one of the many names for the Lady of the Lake. Maybe
not many Mageia packagers have studied Arthurian legend? :-)

Just been looking in the core/updates_testing/ repo to see if there
was anything that I could install to help with testing, and I
noticed that the libreoffice-help-en-3.3.3.1-0.1.mga1.i586.rpm is
only 18KB and all other languages are more than 5000KB.
Is this right?

rs will be supporting 3
versions of Mageia - current and immediate previous stable, plus
cauldron - so adding a 4th LTS version might put too much strain on
their hardware or on their family life!

party (Mozilla,
KDE, Gnome, Adobe etc.) could close down before the EOL of the
Mageia version in which the third party package is included.
So, if someone *from Mageia* is prepared to support 64-bit Flash 11
- including providing simple instructions for uninstalling it if it
proves to cause problems or is a security risk - then I can see no
reason why it should not be provided as a "supported" backport.

I particularly like the proposed use of the terms Libre and Gratis.
My main concern is that newbie Mageia users - those who come direct
from Windows, rather tha
7;newbie' and 'expert' mailing lists - even if they knew a lot about
other distros, they might still have needed newbie-level help with
features that were Mandriva-specific.

There are already various options which can be run with urpmi, such
as --noclean and --repackage (see man urpmi) and perhaps these
could be incorporated into the GUI - with full simple explanations
for the user on exactly what will happen if those options are
chosen.
For example:
"Select this option if you want to save the old version of the
package that is being updated. If there is a problem with the new
version, you will be able to uninstall it and go back to the older
version. Warning: this option will use extra space on your disk."
There could then be a list available showing all the saved older
versions of packages - if, for instance, a user had saved 10 older
versions of Firefox and knew that the most recent one worked
perfectly, they could then safely delete the 9 older versions to
reclaim some disk space.
