There is no real need to rush releases as +long as new versions are easily available. I know backports repo is +available but its not very user friendly. As an example, the newer +versions of Openshot video editor have a very nice feature of being able +to do animated titles. To be able to use them you need Blender 2.5. +Whilst Mageia includes Openshot 1.3.1 (which errors with missing plugins +btw) which at time of writing is current it still has Blender 2.49b. + +It would be useful if there were a nice user friendly way to upgrade +Blender when it is backported. Something to let ordinary users know a +newer version is available and a simple click to upgrade it. + +LTS releases in Ubuntu IMHO are a great idea and one which would add +value to mageia as a potential server/business OS where stability over +time is crucial. + +I dont think Joe Bloggs really cares about a 6 monthly distribution +upgrade, only that new versions of the software they use are easily +obtainable in the mean time and won't break the distribution upgrade +when it comes around. +-------------- next part -------------- +An HTML attachment was scrubbed... +URL: </pipermail/mageia-dev/attachments/20110616/5663f737/attachment-0001.html> +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="005779.html">[Mageia-dev] Release cycles proposals, and discussion - messages from the forum +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="005781.html">[Mageia-dev] Release cycles proposals, and discussion - messages from the forum +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#5780">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#5780">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#5780">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#5780">[ 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> |
