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:
