Hi!

Now & then I tend to loose my mind & install Ubuntu on one of my computers & the last time I did it I heard about PPA's. I added a PPA & noticed how fun it was to test the code that it offers.

This is the explanation of what PPA is & does according to the Ubuntu-page:

"Personal Package Archives (PPA) allow you to upload Ubuntu source packages to be built and published as an apt repository by Launchpad."

My idea would be something similar.

It starts with the user that gets annoyed how some Mageia-packages that are meant to be stable that they aren't.
Instead of having to do the job themselves they can just add a special media called user-contrib that contains packages built from git-source to be tested in Cauldron & then released as Backport-version when confirmed stable enough to see if the issue they had on the officially stable package is gone.

I know that it would take many people to build thoose, but I'm willing to download git-code & compile & build for Mageia.

I've already managed to compile & build the latest official version of Transmission without using the official Mageia patches & I've got NO problem at all using the package.

Test theese packages & say what you think:
