+</I>&gt;<i> Not to say Mageia needs to follow any of this, and as we're a volunteer
+</I>&gt;<i> organization, I suspect things will be structured a bit differently from
+</I>&gt;<i> a staffing POV than &quot;2 guys mostly dedicated to updates&quot;
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Old Process:
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> * monitor vendor-sec, discuss vulns, patches, negotiate release schedule,
+</I>&gt;<i> &#160; also watch other distro updates, for things we may have missed
+</I>
+I think we need to add them to a list at that point (some tickets somewhere)
+
+&gt;<i> * check our srpm database (Vincent later reworked this) for all the
+</I>&gt;<i> places the affected source code
+</I>&gt;<i> &#160; may be buried (many packages embed copies of other source)
+</I>
+And add that info in the tickets as a list of needed actions, or maybe
+have some blocking tickets
+
+&gt;<i> * apply/adapt patches for all supported releases/architectures (may have
+</I>&gt;<i> been published on vendor-sec,
+</I>&gt;<i> &#160; or from another distro package, or extracted from upstream)
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> &#160; ** when we we supporting several releases, with Enterprise stuff
+</I>&gt;<i> being quite old, reworking the patches at times was difficult
+</I>&gt;<i> &#160; ** policy changed over time and these days many things bump up to a
+</I>&gt;<i> new release, rather than patching
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> * build in chroot to preserve the original build env (moved to iurt
+</I>&gt;<i> around the time I left)
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> &#160; ** if we had trouble building the package, contact the maintainer for
+</I>&gt;<i> help
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> * acquire or write a POC (proof of concept) to test that the vuln is
+</I>&gt;<i> corrected, if not, re-patch/re-test
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> * test the app for basic functionality, that we haven't introduced
+</I>&gt;<i> regressions
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> &#160; ** bugfix updates went to QA for testing, this was a big
+</I>&gt;<i> blocker/delay at times
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> * write advisory text (usually copied from the CVE if there is one, or
+</I>&gt;<i> bugzilla from a bugfix)
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> * upload packages to main mirror, wait a few hours and release the
+</I>&gt;<i> announcement (we had several scripts
+</I>&gt;<i> &#160; that facilitated getting packages in the right place, signing them,
+</I>&gt;<i> uploading, etc.)
