+<PRE>Le vendredi 30 septembre 2011 14:38:15, Joaquin Mandriva a &#233;crit :
+&gt;<i> Hello!
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> My name is Joaquin, belonging to <A HREF="http://blogdrake.net">http://blogdrake.net</A> team. I am
+</I>&gt;<i> writing to you because I would like to let you know that we have
+</I>&gt;<i> created a repository with a big amount of good programs for Mageia.
+</I>&gt;<i> Our final target is to upload all of them to the official Mageia's
+</I>&gt;<i> repositories.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> We are currently uploading all these packages to the Mageia's BS step
+</I>&gt;<i> by step, because there are few people of us to do so. Also, also we
+</I>&gt;<i> don't have too much time because we also take care of Blogdrake,
+</I>&gt;<i> Mageia's news and the translations English to Spanish.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Meanwhile, you can use and enjoy our repository in this way:
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> urpmi.addmedia --wget --distrib <A HREF="ftp://ftp.blogdrake.net/mageia/mageia1/i586">ftp://ftp.blogdrake.net/mageia/mageia1/i586</A>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> The x86_64 repository is not finished yet, but you still can add it in this
+</I>&gt;<i> way:
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> urpmi.addmedia --wget --distrib
+</I>&gt;<i> <A HREF="ftp://ftp.blogdrake.net/mageia/mageia1/x86_64">ftp://ftp.blogdrake.net/mageia/mageia1/x86_64</A>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Cheers!
+</I>
+Please note that installing packages from such a repository can be very
+convenient (and it's kind from Blogdrake to provide those packages to users),
+but like in Mandriva, I would advise to not install too much packages from
+there (or any other 3rd party repository), because it can make upgrades to the
+next Mageia distribution (Mageia 2) fail.
+
+So a big thank you to Joaquin and other blogdrake packagers to come towards us
+and start maintaining those packages from inside (you will maintain them in
+the long run, including bugs, will you ?), but I would advise to wait for
+those packages to come to Mageia as updates (for those that were present in
+Mandriva 2010.2) or backports. Hopefully you'll not wait too much.
+
+To Blogdrake team: I'm very interested in packaging backports, so as soon as
+backports media will be open, I will be glad to work with you on that, and
+also to help define the limit between packages that can be backported and those
+that can't and that you can continue to provide in your media (and which I
+would still advise not to install, to avoid upgrade problems and simplify user
+support in Mageia bugzilla :))
+
+Best regards
+
+Samuel Verschelde
