><i> Folks,
</I>><i>
</I>><i> WRT <A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1659">https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1659</A>
</I>><i> [Bug 1659] Calibre is too old (0.7.32 vs. 0.8.4, i.e. 31 versions behind!)
</I>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Two people asserted that a newer calibre package should go into backports, not updates.
</I>
And so would I. That's 3.
><i> I strongly believe quite the contrary.
</I>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I'd like to bring to your attention that calibre, the e-book reader and converter,
</I>><i> has an extremely dynamic lifecycle: it released 32 versions in 6 months! Thirty-two
</I>><i> versions! (I don't know of any other software that does that, virus signatures not counted.)
</I>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Sure thing, some releases might bring some regressions, but each and every version fixes bugs,
</I>><i> adds new features, adds support for newer e-reader models, etc. etc. Also, the developer of
</I>><i> calibre quickly releases a newer build in the case of serious regressions -- most of the
</I>><i> times within 0 to a few days.
</I>
So that's like most softwares :
- there is lots of release,
- there is a mix of features, bugfixes and regression.
So why does it have to be treated differently than the others since
there is nothing special about this release cycle ?
