Be it Web-based or not, +that's another issue. + +I totally agree that the library contents and possibilities perception has to be +improved. At least that we need to clarify/simplify/change how +existing/new software +and updates/upgrades are presented to the user. + +Maybe shifting from a strictly system-related point of view (current +rpmdrake UI) +to a more application/task/user-related one. Or maybe it's a deeper issue than +just presentation/UI (like really handling differently how software +gets integrated +and packaged on/above/within the operating system). + +But I just don't know. And I believe we're several in this case. + +It is just not clear at all that this discussion about "rolling" distro, +backports, etc. is directly linked to that. + +So the above linked wiki page is about stating and nailing down the problem +several people here seem to agree there is: + - first, make sure everyone speak about the same thing; so everyone should + state her own point of view, detailed; + - second, work this refined problem in depth, so that we see what is really + the problem, and not only the symptoms; + - third, once the problem is clearly stated, the solution(s) may be more + obvious to see/discute/define. + +Note that at this current stage of discussion, it may as well be that there are +_several_ issues mixed as one. So we could as well split the problem into +relevant parts. + +><i> However, if you think we shouldn't put an entry saying "no rolling release, +</I>><i> but improve current backports scheme, see proposal below", I won't do it. +</I> +You can too. But then let's make sure this is related to the discussion (it may, +I am not sure) and then, let's define the bigger picture that links all this +together (would need a separate section in the wiki page then, or yet another +page to state the big view of the issue). + + +Romain +</PRE> + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000983.html">[Mageia-dev] How will be the realese cycle? +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="001010.html">[Mageia-dev] How will be the realese cycle? +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#1006">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#1006">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#1006">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#1006">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
