<PRE>Le dimanche 26 juin 2011 &#224; 13:10 +0300, Sander Lepik a &#233;crit :
&gt;<i> 26.06.2011 12:35, Michael Scherer kirjutas:
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; urpme package; urpmi package
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
</I>&gt;<i> That's not so easy if something depends on that package. How hard is it to implement rpm's 
</I>&gt;<i> &quot;--oldpackage&quot; to urpmi? I really don't know but i hope it's nothing too hard.
</I>
See the thread about policy, and the part about &quot;only packages that
nothing requires should be backported&quot;.

Regarding the rollback ( because, that's how it is called ), there is a
lot of conference dedicated on this topic, the latest one being that
<A HREF="http://www.slideshare.net/johngt/improving-rollback-in-linux-via-dsl-approach-distributing">http://www.slideshare.net/johngt/improving-rollback-in-linux-via-dsl-approach-distributing</A> , just before the one I gave about mageia at FOSDEM.

You can also take a look at the mancoosi research project, read the
discussion over that at cooker@ ( somewhere around
<A HREF="http://lists.mandriva.com/cooker/2010-11/msg00401.php">http://lists.mandriva.com/cooker/2010-11/msg00401.php</A> ), and read the
rest of the thread where it was already proposed :
<A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-dev/20101008/001021.html">http://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-dev/20101008/001021.html</A> ( point
4 ).
