As I am new to all of this. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> When I install Mandriva, I download the ISO from the Mandriva site, +</I>><i> then after the install, I go to Google, Google "Easy URPMI" and +</I>><i> install the official repositories and the PLF repositories. I then do +</I>><i> an "update". On Mandriva 2010.1 there are now almost 450 updated that +</I>><i> come through. +</I>That's because 2010.1 was released in July. (Some months late.) +Mandriva 2011.0 (car model numbering) is to be released soon. +><i> +</I>><i> Now, do these updates come from Mandriva? +</I>Yes, except for those coming from PLF. +BTW, you could have set up the Mandriva official repositories with +Rpmdrake instead. (But not PLF.) + +><i> If yes, are these updates not tested in the same way as the ISO +</I>><i> packages? If yes, would it not be possible to construct and ISO with +</I>><i> the "official updates" already applied? If yes, would it not make +</I>><i> sense that Mandriva stand behind this product with the updates? If +</I>><i> yes, then would the Communities be able to offer these to people as +</I>><i> official ISO's from Mandriva? +</I>Yes and no. Security updates are the most tested updates. Bugfixes are +also well tested. But the ISO packages are well tested together (in +cooker), over a longer period of time. Thus are less likely to have +errors relating to interaction with the system. +There is a reason for this. If there is something wrong with an update, +it can be withdrawn. It disappears from the repositories. +However if there is a bug on a release ISO, it stays there until the +next release. +There are bugs on the ISO, which is why security and other bugfix +updates are available. +But in percentage, updates are less reliable. +And no, it is not a good idea to merge updates into an official ISO and +release it as official. +First of all, it won't be. +And it won't be as thoroughly tested. + +Note that security updates (and bugfixes) are much more urgent to +release than fixing problems in cooker, since ordinary user's systems +are at risk. So there is less time to ensure perfection. + +And also note that commercial systems, like those of Microsoft, even +with all their massive resources, are never bug-free. +><i> +</I>><i> Note that you could then just replace the "Mandriva" name with the +</I>><i> "Mageia" name. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Marc +</I> +- André + +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="002915.html">[Mageia-discuss] [OT] KDE 4.5.2 for Mandrive +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="002901.html">[Mageia-discuss] Suggestions for the ISO +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#2900">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#2900">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#2900">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#2900">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
