+<PRE>Le lundi 25 juillet 2011 21:47:24, Maarten Vanraes a &#233;crit :
+&gt;<i> Hi,
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> with regards to backports, users are complaining (they always do) that
+</I>&gt;<i> backports are taking too long.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> on the one hand almost everyone seems to agree that backports should be
+</I>&gt;<i> &quot;supported&quot; in some way or another... however, noone seems to want to
+</I>&gt;<i> actuallty put in the time to finalize that. (or at least that's how I see
+</I>&gt;<i> it)
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Since afair there is no real consensus, i suggest one of the following
+</I>&gt;<i> options, or possibly make this a vote, or have packaging team leaders (or
+</I>&gt;<i> board) decide this:
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> A. backports are maintainers responsibility
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Every backport is tested or untested by maintainers discretion, (s)he
+</I>&gt;<i> decides how much testing it needs. We could still make a policy that there
+</I>&gt;<i> should be some tests.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> B. well established support like updates
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Similar QA like updates.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> then there is the matter of submission:
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> A. We submit all backports from cauldron
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> B. like updates, there's a separate section for backports
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> C. backport submission is only allowed from the separate section, not from
+</I>&gt;<i> cauldron, if you want to backports from cauldron, you need to make the
+</I>&gt;<i> necessary steps yourself.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> personally, i favor B &amp; C; such as i think most of the people wanted; but
+</I>&gt;<i> if wanted, i can settle for A &amp; B.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> If someone from -sysadmin can find the time to make the SVN repos for
+</I>&gt;<i> backports (and testing), that would be awesome, so we can actually do some
+</I>&gt;<i> testing for it and get this show on the road.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Maarten (aka AL13N)
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> PS: i specifically left out updates to backports, as i personally feel that
+</I>&gt;<i> it's a backport, it just gets a newer release or version.
+</I>
+1B and 2C for me, but I'm summarizing a more detailed proposal from the
+previous discussion + discussion with misc on IRC, which I hope we will adopt.
