<PRE>Le mercredi 08 juin 2011 &#224; 10:40 +0200, Anne nicolas a &#233;crit :
&gt;<i> Hi there
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> We have some stuff to complete here:
</I>&gt;<i> <A HREF="http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=security">http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=security</A>
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> &lt;<A HREF="http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=security">http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=security</A>&gt;Can we spend the 2 or 3 coming
</I>&gt;<i> days to finalize it and start updates submits?
</I>
Pascal is working on this.

So here is a proposal :
- anybody can submit a package to updates_testing. 
- once submitted to testing, it should ask to QA to test, along with :
  - a reason for the update ( likely bug number )
  - potentially a priority ( ie, if this is just a translation update or
a urgent 0 day exploit ) 
  - a way to test the bug and see it is fixed
  - text for the update 

- qa validate the update ( with process to define )

- someone move the package from updates_testing to testing 
- the bug is closed
- a announce is sent ( on various medias to be defined ), with the text
of update 


So the points are : 
- no update can be uploaded without QA validation
- QA manage the checks, and so will requires help ( hence the security
team or any packager can help, provided they know how to do QA )
