So right now the point is updating every day and upgrading to new +version every 6 months (and truely, i am still using 2010). + +The question of time is a wrong question, i spend time upgrading every day +(well just clicking the applet, typing password and let's go !) + +I don't know how often Mageia will be released, and how long all the versions +will be maintened, i am not sure that a fixed release is the best choice. My +feeling is that there is a huge hope, maybe not among developers, for a great +rolling distro (understand great by with many contributors) that could emerge +among all the fixed released distribution. + +The point i want to emphasis is that i still do not understand why my Mandriva +2010 offers me OOo 3.1 while Mandriva 2010.1 offers OOo 3.2. Can OOo 3.2 work on +Mandriva 2010 ? It also means that Mandriva should look for patch for OOo 3.1 +and OOo 3.2 to maintain those two versions (and by the way, on a Mandriva +2009.1 you have OOo 3.1.1-0.3, on 2010 you have OOo 3.1.1-2.5 and on 2010.1 +you have OOo 3.2-4), Mageia will face the same problem. For me, as a user, it +would be simplier to provide just one version, the latest. Update can be +delayed, time to test. But i really do not understand why OOo 3.2 is not +available for Mandriva 2010 nor 2009.1. That's maybe a question of time of +compilation, take long time to create OOo rpms, it takes 3 times more to +create OOo rpms for 3 different edition (or is there any technical issue that +forbid OOo 3.2 on Mandriva 2010 and 2009.1 ?). I also doubt that OOo 3.1 is +still in development, neither seems OOo 3.2. + +So i would not like the same for Mageia. It is a new project, we shall not +need to re-take everything from Mandriva, but rather innovate and there i +guess there is a way to innovate. Maybe a core part of the distribution could +be in fixed release, the rest in rolling release. + +-- +Olivier Méjean +Président de l'Association des Utilisateurs Francophones de Mandriva Linux +<A HREF="http://mandrivafr.org">http://mandrivafr.org</A> +twitter : obagoom +identi.ca : goom +</PRE> + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000623.html">[Mageia-dev] How will be the realese cycle? +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000631.html">[Mageia-dev] How will be the realese cycle? +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#630">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#630">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#630">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#630">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
