+<PRE>Le mardi 26 juin 2012 22:25:10 Thomas Backlund a &#233;crit :
+&gt;<i> And since we can continue this what/if discussion forever,
+</I>&gt;<i> and thereby delay backports even more here is my take on it:
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> my suggestions to decide on question 1 and 2:
+</I>&gt;<i> 1. backporting bigger version to mga1 than mga2 has is
+</I>&gt;<i> allowed as it will otherwise restrict backporting
+</I>&gt;<i> too much. (and since its leaf packages, it should
+</I>&gt;<i> not break (too much)). Lets just make it clear to
+</I>&gt;<i> everyone using backports.
+</I>
+Ok for me, but would be better if before upgrade a warning is raised because
+of backports that cannot be updated and could possibily prevent the upgrade of
+other packages.
+
+&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> 2. we cant really require that as the one backporting
+</I>&gt;<i> the package to mga1 has to backport it to mga2 too
+</I>&gt;<i> as he/she might not be using mga2 at all. if someone
+</I>&gt;<i> wants/needs the backport for mga2, they need to
+</I>&gt;<i> request that. (in reality, going by how backports
+</I>&gt;<i> got handled in mdv most backports will end up in
+</I>&gt;<i> all supported releases anyway)
+</I>
+Thinking of when upgrade tools will allow to take backports into account for
+upgrade, I'd rather require that packages be backported to both mga2 and mga1
+so that upgrade always works, but until then if people prefer your option I
+won't speak against.
+
+Ok, and people join QA to test backports if you really want them ! :)
