I have some questions about the page
http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=qa_updates
"It's a new package fixing a bug (security or not) or adding a missing
feature."
Adding a missing feature is not part of a update as we defined it so
this part seems strange to me, could this one be clarified ?
"Don't forget to enable the i586 medias on x86_64 systems"
I do not understand why is should be needed ( except for nspluginwrapper
). Is there something to watch for when doing this ?
"Write an validation message"
I do not understand what is the validation message about, could we
clarify the goal of the message, or add a example ?
"Rewrite the advisory for the secteam (ask the developper to provide the
advisory if missing)"
IIRC, the advisory should have been provided by the packager ( according
to the others page ), so why rewrite it ? Isn't it a left over ?
Unless what it mean "check that the packager said something that normal
people will understand" ?
Also, on the page, "developer", is "upstream developer", or "packager
who take care of the update" ?
