+<PRE>
+
+&gt;<i>Well, the old simple logic works...
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>lets say we &quot;abuse&quot; the release tag, for example changing &quot;mga&quot; &gt;to &quot;mgt&quot;
+</I>&gt;<i>then if the user enables &quot;tainted&quot; (meaning he/she wants the &gt;rpms) urpmi
+</I>&gt;<i>will automatically get the &quot;mgt&quot; ones, no questions asked...
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>simple, and effective.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>and since the rebuild should be automatically on our bs, the &gt;versions
+</I>&gt;<i>will stay in sync.
+</I>
+That seems to be the easyest compromise.
+Allowing to use the existing spec files from mdv and plf with the least
+modifications.
+
+2 problems indeed :
+for sysadmin point of view :
+Is the BS able to build and dispatch two different versions of the same rpm
+(core and tainted) ?
+
+for the user
+Is the package manager able to substitue simply a tainted rpm to a core rpm
+if the tainted repos are selected ?
