 2010 21:41:14, HacKurx a écrit :<br>&gt; &gt; First of all excuse me for my English.<br>&gt; &gt; <br>&gt; &gt; I am one who thinks that rolling release distributions sounds the future.<br>&gt; &gt; Why?<br>&gt; &gt; Because the user no longer has to worry about are system and benefits<br>
&gt; &gt; from recent versions of software.<br>&gt; &gt; <br>&gt; &gt; Now on libraries, xorg etc.... it may very well release a new version for<br>&gt; &gt; inclusion.<br>&gt; &gt; So imagine every six months a new version but in the meantime the<br>
&gt; &gt; software most used to constantly updated in a repository (this is<br>&gt; &gt; equivalent to ubuntu ppa in some ways but stable and under control).<br>&gt; &gt; <br>&gt; &gt; So I think it would be nice to create a repository &quot;rolling release&quot;<br>
&gt; &gt; containing software commonly used example: firefox, vlc, liferea,<br>&gt; &gt; thunderbird, mplayer.<br>&gt; &gt; <br>&gt; &gt; As you will not break the
 system because no library, xorg etc. will be<br>&gt; &gt; updated.<br>&gt; &gt; <br>&gt; &gt; +1 repository &quot;rolling release&quot; commonly used for software (vlc, smplayer<br>&gt; &gt; etc ...)<br>&gt; <br>&gt; I have no experience with rolling releases, but as I hope that Mageia will,<br>
&gt; like Mandriva Linux, remain suitable for desktop, server, and enterprise<br>&gt; use. So I really hope each version will be stable, maintained and<br>&gt; thoroughly tested. I&#39;m not sure that a rolling release permits that.<br>

<div><br></div><div>Using this design, we&#39;ll have a fully-stable core system, and we&#39;ll can focus the &quot;rolling style&quot; to the layers.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
