+<PRE>2011/6/24 Jos&#233; Jorge &lt;<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">jjorge at free.fr</A>&gt;:
+&gt;<i> Le vendredi 24 juin 2011 02:15:03, Michael Scherer a &#233;crit :
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Last solution, declare that cherry picking is not supported, or that
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> people are on their own, and explain the reason. However, people have
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> been asking this, and recommend this. This would also be against a goal
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> of having confidence in the backports.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I have always used backports in a total way : if I want latest software
+</I>&gt;<i> against stability, I take them all. Think about little dependencies that still
+</I>&gt;<i> exist (vlc + ffmpeg, etc).
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> So I would say Mageia has two update modes :
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> - end user (security) mode (updates)
+</I>&gt;<i> - power user (let's try everything) mode (updates+backports)
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Each user &#160;will recognise himself in one of the two modes.
+</I>
+So, where do I find myself in this scenario?
+
+I do not use backports in general, they are disabled.
+A new version of foo is coming in in cauldron and I want to use it in Mageia 1.
+A friendly packager builds a backport of this new version of foo for Mageia 1.
+I enable backports, do &quot;urpmi foo&quot; and I get the version from
+backports including dependencies.
+After that I disable backports.
+
+This is the way backports have been used by many users in Mandriva.
+And (BTW) this is the exact meaning of the word, a version is
+backported from a newer distrib-version or cooker/cauldron to an older
+distrib-version or current stable version.
