+<PRE>Le jeudi 18 ao&#251;t 2011 &#224; 12:46 -0300, John Balcaen a &#233;crit :
+&gt;<i> Hello,
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I noticed a problem with our update process thanks to bug #2450 [1]
+</I>&gt;<i> Here we pushed a update to kipi-plugins package (due to a missing
+</I>&gt;<i> requires) but the update ends up in a totally broken installation for
+</I>&gt;<i> the end user which was not noticed by me (first in fault) &amp; later by
+</I>&gt;<i> QA.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Currently every package built for updates are done against
+</I>&gt;<i> core/release, core/updates and core/updates_testing, here when i
+</I>&gt;<i> pushed kipi-plugins update, KDE 4.6.5 was already available in
+</I>&gt;<i> core/updates_testing so as expected kipi-plugins get linked against
+</I>&gt;<i> KDE 4.6.5 &amp; not against KDE 4.6.3 (available in core/release)
+</I>&gt;<i> Since most of actors of the QA are simply installing all packages from
+</I>&gt;<i> core/updates_testing (like me) none of us noticed that it would break
+</I>&gt;<i> without KDE 4.6.5 installed and when probably for first updates
+</I>&gt;<i> people are using a &#171; fresh Mageia 1&#187; , with several packages in
+</I>&gt;<i> updates_testing in the same moment we can't really expect them to
+</I>&gt;<i> removed or reinstall/restore a Mageia 1 for every package available in
+</I>&gt;<i> testing.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> A workaround (which could also ease work for QA people) would be to
+</I>&gt;<i> have some temporary repositories as suggested by bolkm on irc, it
+</I>&gt;<i> could be based on SRPM package name but for some project like KDE it
+</I>&gt;<i> would need more hacks since RPMS needed to be builded in a specific
+</I>&gt;<i> order.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> The QA user will be able to simply add a new media (like
+</I>&gt;<i> urpmi.addmedia $mirror/core/updates_testing/packagetotest/ ) so it
+</I>&gt;<i> will be more easy to test a package &amp; *only* this one.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Another solution is to rebuild the package when moving in on
+</I>&gt;<i> core/updates_release but in that case the package tested by QA is of
+</I>&gt;<i> course not the same as the one available previously in testing.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> What do you think ?
+</I>
+I fail to understand, if kde 4.6.5 was a bugfix only of kde 4.6.3, then
+what kind of change would break kipi ?
+
+If there is a ABI break, then it should not go to updates.
