+Hi folks,<br><br>don&#39;t know if it was discussed previously, but I could not find it in the archives.<br><br>Are there some plans for any kind of ppa-like repos in Mageia/BS? There are some cases where they could be useful. One special case which comes to mind is wayland packaging - I was discussing with Florian Hubold about it, and the trick about them is that:<br>
+
+ - they require latest xorg stuff from git<br> - they require latest mesa from git<br> - they require latest libxkbcommon from git<br> - they require latest pixman from git<br><br>and it is, well, madness to provide such versions in main repositories.<br>
+
+<br>However, it would be a nice case for providing them in some sort of private branch (like for example <a href="http://people.mageia.org/">people.mageia.org/</a>&lt;branch&gt;/ or something), using the same BS infrastructure (iurt/jurt) to compile them and generate hdlists automatically.<br>
+
+<br>I did some custom scripts to do this task, but before reinventing the wheel for either mandriva or mageia BS, perhaps there is something already planned in this sense...<br clear="all"><br>Cheers,<br><br>-- <br>Eugeni Dodonov<br>
