+<PRE>Radu-Cristian FOTESCU a &#233;crit :
+&gt;&gt;<i> Understood, looked at the i586 instead. Suppose a new version of
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> mplayer is released today, how long would it take to appear in the
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> repository?
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> A new version of mplayer would not appear as an update to Mageia 1, unless it's a security fix
+</I>&gt;<i> or a very critical bugfix.
+</I>
+Bugfixes go into updates.
+Backports are for new features.
+(There will likely be some exceptions that go into updates.)
+
+&gt;<i> It would normally appear in Mageia Cauldron, but initially in testing, I suppose.
+</I>
+Something like that, but not totally decided.
+
+&gt;<i> Other people should tell you how long would it take until it would show up in Mageia 1 in backports, not in updates.
+</I>
+We're still in transition, so nobody knows. The detailed backport policy will
+be decided soon.
+It will depend on how much volonteers are willing to support the backport.
+(Interested users will likely be able to accelerate the process.)
+
+&gt;&gt;<i> Can urpmi be used by the command terminal to upgrade only mplayer? If
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> related library files also need to be upgraded, can urpmi select
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> automatically only those required to run the latest version of
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> mplayer? Or must the entire mageia distribution be upgraded?
+</I> &gt;
+&gt;<i> When you urpmi mplayer, supposing a new mplayer package is released, the necessary dependencies will also be updated as required.
+</I>
+You will be warned if something needed is not available in your currently
+activated repositories.
+
+&gt;<i> If you really want to use the latest packages, and possibly experience some breakage, you can switch to Cauldron. This can be done by running as root the following 3 commands:
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> urpmi.removemedia -a
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist <A HREF="http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.cauldron.i586.list">http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.cauldron.i586.list</A>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> urpmi --replacefiles --auto-update --auto
+</I>
+That should be _very_ _likely_ experience some breakage. Cauldron is the
+development branch, where frequent small breakage is the norm, and sometimes
+much more.
+
+&gt;<i> Cheers,
+</I>&gt;<i> R-C aka beranger
