+&gt;<i> Le mardi 30 novembre 2010 11:37:42, Thomas Backlund a &#233;crit :
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; So, after reading all different opinions here and discussing with
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; founders, here is the idea:
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; We start of with 3 medias: core, nonfree, tainted and 3 debug medias:
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; debug_core, debug_nonfree, debug_tainted. In order to avoid confusion,
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; we wont use the name &quot;restricted&quot; as it was used in MDV commercial
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; products.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Now all of theese medias will have their 5 submedias: release, updates,
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; updates_testing, backports, backports_testing.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; That brings us to 30 medias in total :)
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; The details of the media layout suggestion is also at the end of this
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; mail, and at: <A HREF="http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=mirrors_policy">http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=mirrors_policy</A>
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Now...
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; We wont blindly import every package from cooker, instead we'll
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; start off the import with basesystem (as in bootable system with
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; shell access), compiler and rpm tools (and of course their buildtime
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; depencies). When all of that is imported and rebuilt, we have a working
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; buildsystem / base to build from.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Then we to go on with and start importing X, the different
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; DE's and every other package needed to build a full distro.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; By doing it this way, we get a clean start, every package rebuilt,
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; and no old/unmaintained stuff in the beginning.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Then as more maintainers join, I guess more packages will be imported
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; from cooker and other sources. And packages can always be requested.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; As for those that want the core/extra split:
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; We already tried it with main/contrib split. And I know mdv is now
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; trying to refine what belongs in main or not, but thats for mdv
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; to work through the &quot;problem&quot; as it wont be an easy task.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; For us I think the best way for now is to start with this suggested
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; layout, and see if it works well for us. Remember, as Michael pointed
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; out, this is a community supported distro, and only time will tell how
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; well the community actually will support their distro.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Point is, if we later decide this is not working well, we can always
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; review the decisions and if decided do the split.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Can we reach an agreement that this is the way to start the distro?
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> OK for me provided support policy matters are not discarded forever but
+</I>&gt;<i> only delayed to allow things to start.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> It would be great to start QA Team's organization as soon as possible. I
+</I>&gt;<i> don't think we need to wait for the BS and the packages to begin thinking
+</I>&gt;<i> about those matters.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Regards
+</I>&gt;<i>

+&gt;<i> Hi,
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I would like to discuss the support policy for Mageia.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> It would be interesting to know (or decide) where Mageia is heading, given
+</I>&gt;<i> our limited resources : 1) focus on stability and security : few very well
+</I>&gt;<i> equally supported packages. Apparently, this is where we're going for now.
+</I>&gt;<i> May be wise as a start, but I hope this is not our final destination,
+</I>&gt;<i> because it means either very limited choice, or progressive diminution of
+</I>&gt;<i> quality of support if the number of packages increases faster than the
+</I>&gt;<i> dedicated resources. 2) focus on choice : many packages, but no support
+</I>&gt;<i> policy. This would be really bad, I think we're not heading there, from
+</I>&gt;<i> what I read. However, this is a danger if we start from option 1) and then
+</I>&gt;<i> open wide the gates for importing packages, without setting a support
+</I>&gt;<i> policy. 3) focus on both (this is my option). There would be 2 levels of
+</I>&gt;<i> support : - top guaranteed support : those are the (few at start) packages
+</I>&gt;<i> your can rely on almost blindly, they'll be updated in a timely manner,
+</I>&gt;<i> and updates don't break things. Those are the packages the QA Team puts
+</I>&gt;<i> its limited resources on (doesn't mean the QA Team provides the support
+</I>&gt;<i> themselves, this is maintainer work, but they check that good support is
+</I>&gt;<i> provided) : testing, helping the maintainers to watch for security
+</I>&gt;<i> problems... The maintainers are responsible for their package, but the QA
+</I>&gt;<i> Team double-checks updates for stable releases. - supported packages
+</I>&gt;<i> (every other package) : those are maintained packages, however the QA Team
+</I>&gt;<i> doesn't have to check them. It's up to the maintainer to check the package
+</I>&gt;<i> and updates quality. - unsupported packages are dropped.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Are we heading for 1), 2), 3), or any other option ?
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Of course, with unlimited resources, options 1 and 3 would be equivalent,
+</I>&gt;<i> everything would have the &quot;top guaranteed support&quot; :)
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Best regards
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Samuel Verschelde
+</I>&gt;<i> Packager/QA Team/User
+</I>
+
+having read misc's lenghty and almost political proposal, i suggest a 4th
+option (even though i'm not part of QAteam either):
+
+4) dynamically distributed focus:
+- level 1: BuildSystem-required packages (all packages used for buildnodes)
+- level 2: everything that is minimally required to boot and do stuff
+- level 3: popular server packages
+- level 4: release focus (everything that's defaultly installed by a release)
+- level 4b: stage images
+- level 5: the rest
+
+depending on resources and certain timings; focus should be spread according
+to desires at that time.
+
+eg:
+- i imagine that level 1 could be discussed between sysadm and qateam during
+BS-updates
+- i imagine that level 2 would be the primary focus
+- i imagine that level 4 could be more important during release times
+- i imagine that level 5 would probably not be focussed by QA unless unlimited
+resources
+- i imagine that level 3 would probably be good if resources would be growing,
+and possibly level 4 if there's enough resources.
+
+
+- i agree that testing should be open to anyone
+- i agree that karma could not be a bad idea, but suggest that QAteam give
+more karma (perhaps even on the karmic state of that person)
+- i also would suggest that at the time of alpha release, we should do a
+contest on testing and bugfinding; so that we could gather enough testers; and
+possibly even extra packagers or qateam people.
+
+WDYT?

+contributor. A user who post on the forum has a bugzilla account and a wiki
+account and should be able to provide feedback on packages etc.
+
+Only when the user needs to be able to push changes somewhere without
+authorization of another contributor, does the user need to request privileged
+access (but, on the same account).

+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Hi,
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; I would like to discuss the support policy for Mageia.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; It would be interesting to know (or decide) where Mageia is heading,
+</I>&gt;<i> given
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; our limited resources : 1) focus on stability and security : few very
+</I>&gt;<i> well
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; equally supported packages. Apparently, this is where we're going for
+</I>&gt;<i> now.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; May be wise as a start, but I hope this is not our final destination,
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; because it means either very limited choice, or progressive diminution of
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; quality of support if the number of packages increases faster than the
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; dedicated resources. 2) focus on choice : many packages, but no support
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; policy. This would be really bad, I think we're not heading there, from
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; what I read. However, this is a danger if we start from option 1) and
+</I>&gt;<i> then
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; open wide the gates for importing packages, without setting a support
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; policy. 3) focus on both (this is my option). There would be 2 levels of
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; support : - top guaranteed support : those are the (few at start)
+</I>&gt;<i> packages
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; your can rely on almost blindly, they'll be updated in a timely manner,
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; and updates don't break things. Those are the packages the QA Team puts
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; its limited resources on (doesn't mean the QA Team provides the support
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; themselves, this is maintainer work, but they check that good support is
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; provided) : testing, helping the maintainers to watch for security
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; problems... The maintainers are responsible for their package, but the QA
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Team double-checks updates for stable releases. - supported packages
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; (every other package) : those are maintained packages, however the QA
+</I>&gt;<i> Team
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; doesn't have to check them. It's up to the maintainer to check the
+</I>&gt;<i> package
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; and updates quality. - unsupported packages are dropped.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Are we heading for 1), 2), 3), or any other option ?
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Of course, with unlimited resources, options 1 and 3 would be equivalent,
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; everything would have the &quot;top guaranteed support&quot; :)
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Best regards
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Samuel Verschelde
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Packager/QA Team/User
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> having read misc's lenghty and almost political proposal, i suggest a 4th
+</I>&gt;<i> option (even though i'm not part of QAteam either):
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> 4) dynamically distributed focus:
+</I>&gt;<i> - level 1: BuildSystem-required packages (all packages used for buildnodes)
+</I>&gt;<i> - level 2: everything that is minimally required to boot and do stuff
+</I>&gt;<i> - level 3: popular server packages
+</I>&gt;<i> - level 4: release focus (everything that's defaultly installed by a
+</I>&gt;<i> release)
+</I>&gt;<i> - level 4b: stage images
+</I>&gt;<i> - level 5: the rest
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> depending on resources and certain timings; focus should be spread
+</I>&gt;<i> according
+</I>&gt;<i> to desires at that time.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> eg:
+</I>&gt;<i> - i imagine that level 1 could be discussed between sysadm and qateam
+</I>&gt;<i> during
+</I>&gt;<i> BS-updates
+</I>&gt;<i> - i imagine that level 2 would be the primary focus
+</I>&gt;<i> - i imagine that level 4 could be more important during release times
+</I>&gt;<i> - i imagine that level 5 would probably not be focussed by QA unless
+</I>&gt;<i> unlimited
+</I>&gt;<i> resources
+</I>&gt;<i> - i imagine that level 3 would probably be good if resources would be
+</I>&gt;<i> growing,
+</I>&gt;<i> and possibly level 4 if there's enough resources.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> - i agree that testing should be open to anyone
+</I>&gt;<i> - i agree that karma could not be a bad idea, but suggest that QAteam give
+</I>&gt;<i> more karma (perhaps even on the karmic state of that person)
+</I>&gt;<i> - i also would suggest that at the time of alpha release, we should do a
+</I>&gt;<i> contest on testing and bugfinding; so that we could gather enough testers;
+</I>&gt;<i> and
+</I>&gt;<i> possibly even extra packagers or qateam people.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> WDYT?
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>
+
+Option 4 sounds good, it also shows a little bit the responsibilities of
+each team.
+I would like to add a level 3b which differs between server-only and
+desktop.

+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Unlikely. This problem is not at all related to separate repositories.
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> It is. It is exactly related to the fact that thunderbird is supported,
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> and that extension are not despites depending on it.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> In this case it is evident that you don't understand how extensions work
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> with mozilla products.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Thunderbird will function correctly with no extensions installed.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> So why should any extension block the update of Thunderbird ?
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> So the user can simply uninstall that extension and update to new
+</I>&gt;<i> thunderbird? the user can do this only if he doesn't need that
+</I>&gt;<i> extension, only if it doesn't offer features he wants to use. That's
+</I>&gt;<i> an invalid argument, if he doesn't need that extension why does he
+</I>&gt;<i> have it on his system??
+</I>
+You're missing some points here :
+1) There is no need to remove an extension. It will continue to work,
+as long as there hasn't been some error in packaging. In other words,
+on a generic Mozilla installation, it would continue to work. The only
+exceptions in the past are when Mozilla changed the version of XML used
+to code extensions. (Which has happened twice since the beginning of
+Mozilla, if I recall correctly.) But that would not happen on an update.
+
+2) If by chance the extension does not work properly, it can always be
+updated directly by the update function inside Thunderbird. Unless the
+distro packaging has somehow disabled this function. Which would be an
+error in packaging.
+
+3) There is no reason to package Mozilla extensions in the distro,
+except for base localisation modules, which are already in main.
+
+4) If an optional module of any application stops working, that can only
+affect the application in question. And should not stop the application
+from working. That does not in itself justify such an extension being
+considered (logically) core.
+&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> The rationale is/was that mozilla code breaks/broke ABI, so it was
+</I>&gt;<i> agreed that extensions are rebuilt for both firefox and thunderbird
+</I>&gt;<i> respective new versions.
+</I>See above.
+&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> We will look into that with upstream, so that if a rebuild isn't
+</I>&gt;<i> needed, then all the better for us (packagers). But until that
+</I>&gt;<i> happens, they will be rebuilt. A 1-2 day delay isn't too much for
+</I>&gt;<i> users.
+</I>Good. Check with upstream. It can be done quickly, and will help clean
+the system.
+By the way, if you install Thunderbird, you can confirm the critical
+elements yourself. (Installation/update of Extensions and other
+optional modules fully managable from inside Thunderbird. As well, by
+default there are automatic alerts when updates become available.)
+&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> The more pressing issue is, what does this have to do with the topic
+</I>&gt;<i> at hand &quot;Mirrors layout, round two&quot; ?? this discussion is deviating
+</I>&gt;<i> too much, to the extent it's becoming bloated...
+</I>
+Everything.
+Removing the distinction between core and non-core packages removes an
+important control, useful to give greater assurance that (logically)
+core packages are not broken, thus breaking users' systems.
+In my mind, alternative controls are likely to be more complex to
+maintain, and probably less reliable.
+It is interesting that the names &quot;core&quot; and &quot;extra&quot; were chosen to
+replace &quot;main&quot; and &quot;contrib&quot;.
+Especially since &quot;main&quot; was originally meant to be core packages. But
+not enforced, as some packagers themselves have pointed out.

+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Additionally, modules installed will continue to work as long as the major

+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> In some cases one won't be able to newly install a module because a config
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> file inside the module - equivalent to the spec file in rpm packages -
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> hasn't been updated for compatible versions. (In fact, the versions were
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> probably improperly specified.) But installed modules will continue to
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> function.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> It is possible that the packager did not realise this - or for whatever
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> reason did not properly set up a spec file - but this issue has nothing at
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> all to do with separate sets of repositories.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Speaking abstractly without examples in this case is just that,
+</I>&gt;<i> &quot;speaking&quot;. Give us an example of such a case (if any) in a spec file
+</I>&gt;<i> so that it can be fixed.
+</I>More precise details added above.
+&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> That precisely because we tell &quot;security and bugfixes occurs only on
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> main&quot; that contribs got broken, since the security team do not care to
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> not break contribs packages
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> The crux of this problem is that core (in the general sense) packages are
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> dependant on packages that are not recognized as core.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> That again has nothing to do with repositories as such.
+</I>I should have said &quot;packages in core&quot;, since many such packages aren't
+really logically core to the system.
+&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I agree with Michael here, doing sec fixes isn't hard (once one gets
+</I>&gt;<i> used to it), just time consuming, and it should be done for all
+</I>&gt;<i> packages in the &quot;official&quot; repos; it's true that GPL gives no
+</I>&gt;<i> guarantees what so ever, just it's a moral obligation for people
+</I>&gt;<i> involved in the FOSS world to support users as best they can.
+</I>I agree that security fixes should be done for all packages in
+&quot;officiel&quot; repos. (Meaning &quot;core&quot; and &quot;extra&quot;.)
+But
+1) My main point is that priority should be given to truly core
+packages, because, as you mention, it is time consuming. If core is
+mixed with non-core, that priority is (at least more) difficult to follow.
+
+2) An important part of my proposals has been to remove non-core
+packages from the core repo, to assist in this.
+To do that, we have to define clearly what is core and non-core.
+(This will have to be done anyway if we wish to give priority to core
+packages.)
+I think that this would be a *very* useful discussion in this thread.
+And I'm very willing to actively contribute. (As you might guess:) )
+I have to admit, I'm a bit surprised at the opposition to my proposals
+by many (but not all) packagers.
+&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Users do not differentiate between main/contrib, there's a package
+</I>&gt;<i> they install it, I don't think they look from which repo it comes
+</I>&gt;<i> from.
+</I>
+With this I disagree. Not only due to my own habit to leave contrib
+disabled most of the time. And activate it only to find packages not in
+main. (Often after searching elsewhere - but being a programmer, I'm
+used to compiling/ extra configuring if necessary.)
+Many users have expressed on this list a preference to install packages
+from main, rather than contrib.
+On the other hand, it is true that many users don't care.
+&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Rather that one package was updated, and an optional installed module
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> was not.
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> The fact that the module is optional is the key point.
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> The installer should be flexible enough to give a warning in this case,
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> and ask if you wish to continue the installation.
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> So basically, you want a --nodeps ?
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> If there is a requires, there is usually a good reason. Engineering is
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> not randomly adding line to a file until it work.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> How about better configured spec files ?
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> A better definition (in general) of core packages ?
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> A focus on ensuring that core packages are maintained ?
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Basically my idea behind a core sandbox.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> But if you have a better idea ...
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Again, give us an example of a spec file that needs &quot;better&quot;
+</I>&gt;<i> configuration, otherwise you're theorising.
+</I>
+(Firstly, of course I'm theorising. And so are those that propose
+eliminating a separate core set of repos. But you could argue that it
+wasn't clear.)
+Sorry, I thought my point was obvious in the context.
+If a package is optional, the spec file contents should never block the
+upgrade of the package to which it is an option.
+(Which is not necessarily the case if the package is one of several
+required alternatives.)
+It might be useful to warn the user that the optional module might not
+work, but to refuse to update the main package just creates an
+unnecessary blockage.
+&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Just remember, eliminating a supported core breaks the sandbox.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> So removing repositories does have secondary effects.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> And they should be seriously considered and discussed by those proposing to
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> remove the repositories.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> As well, in the case of Thunderbird, it is almost certain that the
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> installed module was in fact compatible with newer version of
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Thunderbird. (A security problem may directly impact Thunderbird or the
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> module, but highly unlikely both packages.)
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Rpm tags should have been set so that Thunderbird would recognize that
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> the module was appropriate in the newer version.
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> No. If there is stricter dependency, it is precisely because there is no
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> guarantee of any kind of ABI between thunderbird versions. The same goes
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> for firefox.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Overly restrictive compatibility specification is a very a common error in
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Mozilla extension packaging. (It's mentioned in their development guides.)
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> But the rpm packager should be knowledgable enough to recognize it.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> But such errors do happen.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Read above.
+</I>I think that this statement stands on its own.
+(Note that I said *Mozilla* extension packaging.)
+Or read added comments above.
+&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> So in sum, this was probably only a packaging problem. Whatever the
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> repository.
+</I>In fact, *necessarily* a packaging *error*, to be totally clear.
+
+&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> No. Not at all.
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> The problem is linked to the difference of support between main and
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> contribs.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> In this case, it is inappropriate packaging.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Other cases could be a difference of support.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> There is no reason that extensions should ever block the upgrade of
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Thunderbird, unless when one passes from one major version to another.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> In that case, the extension will have to be rewritten, a development
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> function.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> (That has only happened a few times since the beginning of Mozilla.)
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> See above (again).
+</I>
+See above (again)
+Or think about this. The thai localisation is &quot;required&quot; in Mandriva.
+Even if one doesn't have any knowledge thai, and thus is totally useless.
+Just as logical as an optional Mozilla module blocking the update of
+Thunderbird.
+They are both packaging errors.
+&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> The essence of our disagreement seems to be how to ensure that core packages
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> are properly supported.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Define &quot;core&quot;. For KDE users who want to change GTK themes gtk-chtheme
+</I>&gt;<i> (a very small and really old package) is core (i.e. important). The
+</I>&gt;<i> point is, a package is offered in the repos it should be as supported
+</I>&gt;<i> as possible, main/contrib/non-free doesn't/shouldn't matter.
+</I>
+Earlier in this thread, I defined core as necessary for a typical
+desktop or server or development installation. Adding that certain
+widely useful packages, such as Openoffice/LibreOffice and Firefox could
+be added, due to their general utility.
+This was to include complete desktops, such as Gnome, KDE, and LXDE.
+
+By this definition, the old GTK theme would probably not be considered
+core, but that doesn't prevent it from being supported. I would expect
+that the majority of non-core packages would be well supported.
+The fact that the theme is important to the individual user is not key :
+The question is more, would problems with it block or significantly
+impair the user's system ? Considering that there are a number of
+widely used alternatives, it would probably be decided to be non-core.
+
+Which brings up another important point. Exactly what constitutes core
+and non-core should always be a collective decision. Meaning that
+borderline cases are never decided by one individual, and decisions
+should follow core guidelines.
+
+In general, this definition of core follows ideas proposed on Mandriva
+cooker recently, although I have long had this view. I would guess that
+at least a third of &quot;main&quot;, if not more, is non-core.
+
+Examples ? I have installed (and use) poedit and gtranslator, packages
+which facilitate translating .po files. They came from &quot;main&quot;.
+In my mind they are non-core, and never should have been in main.
+As although they are used in the development process, they are not
+central to it, and no other package would depend on them.
+However, collective decisions could say that one of them is core (on the
+basis of being widely used), and I, as a packager, would follow that.
+
+BTW, although I am interested in starting as a new Mageia packager, I
+have decades of programming/development experience, with complex
+systems. So my comments/suggestions come from considerable experience.
+&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> My point is that a sandbox will facilitate proper support. Which would be
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> facilitated by keeping the 2 sets of free repositories. And restricting
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> what should be considered core.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> We both know that Mandriva is moving in that direction. Evidently
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> recognising that they weren't restrictive enough in the past.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Contrib _is_not_ a sandbox, unless you're implying packagers are using
+</I>&gt;<i> users as lab rats.... which isn't true.
+</I>Earlier in this thread, it was &quot;main&quot; and &quot;core&quot; that I qualified as
+sandboxes.
+In terms of isolating core packages into a repository on which all
+packages could depend.
+Obviously, &quot;main&quot; strayed from the concept.

+allthough interesting, this thread is about mirror layout; and is not about
+removing the distinction between supported packages and not. (this wasn't all
+that clear to me at first.)
+
+i do understand that you think other methods of having the distinction might
+not work; i have reservations myself that way. (i do feel the disctinction is
+important.)
+
+i also see that mirror layout should be as easy as possible for mirror admins.
+
+however, looking at the big picture, i think that logically it's sounds to
+have one purpose to one thing; and thus for the mirror layout; only the mirror
+admins should be looked at; the viewpoint of a user _should_ not really
+matter.
