+ <br>
+ Hi<br>
+ <br>
+ I have thought about it before how it could be useful after Mageia 2
+ has been released for there to be PPA's or something like it for
+ Mageia.<br>
+ <br>
+ With Ubuntu PPA's are really just repo's that can be added by users
+ so that they can get later versions of software that aren't in the
+ Ubuntu repo's. With PPA's it's meant to be known as well that they
+ may be buggy, because usually they have just been made by
+ developers/packagers or something like that I think, and not gone
+ through a proper Quality Assurance process. Really they are meant to
+ be aimed at more experienced users, but it seems that more recently
+ since 2008 or something like that, that quite a lot of less
+ experienced Ubuntu users may also have at least one PPA installed.
+ Also to many installed PPA's can cause issues with the Ubuntu
+ install.<br>
+ <br>
+ I have been thinking before about the current Mageia release cycle
+ and when it comes to Gnome. Since the 9 months release cycle for
+ example, it seems that sometimes a new major version of Gnome will
+ have to be skipped, as in not offered by Mageia as an update for any
+ supported stable final release at the time.&nbsp; I am not a developer,
+ but I assume those versions of Gnome can be put into Cauldron and
+ then backported to the current stable release as well, or put into
+ something like a PPA for users to install into final Mageia
+ releases. As for Cauldron it should keep on having the latest
+ versions of Gnome, usually development versions.<br>
+ <br>
+ In general most Desktop Linux users want the latest final versions
+ of the software that they use it seems, and I think that it would be
+ good if there was a easy way to offer this for most or all packages.
+ This is where something like Ubuntu's PPA's would come in.<br>
+ <br>
+ I think if Mageia has something like PPA's, they shouldn't need to
+ require QA from the QA team and it should be known users and
+ potential users that they may be buggy/unstable.&nbsp; Where as backports
+ of course will have gone through the Mageia QA team process.<br>
+ <br>
+ As for the PPA's themselves or the something like it, would need a
+ website for it like they have for Ubuntu
+ <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas">https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas</a> and they should only be offered
+ on the site from people who have gone through the Mageia packaging
+ process and become trusted packagers I think.<br>

+ Hi!<br>
+ <br>
+ Now &amp; then I tend to loose my mind &amp; install Ubuntu on one
+ of my computers &amp; the last time I did it I heard about PPA's. I
+ added a PPA &amp; noticed how fun it was to test the code that it
+ offers.<br>
+ <br>
+ This is the explanation of what PPA is &amp; does according to the
+ Ubuntu-page:<br>
+ <br>
+ <b>"Personal Package Archives (PPA) allow you to upload Ubuntu
+ source packages to be built and published as an apt repository by
+ Launchpad."</b><br>
+ <br>
+ My idea would be something similar.<br>
+ <br>
+ It starts with the user that gets annoyed how some Mageia-packages
+ that are meant to be stable that they aren't.<br>
+ Instead of having to do the job themselves they can just add a
+ special media called user-contrib that contains packages built from
+ git-source to be tested in Cauldron &amp; then released as
+ Backport-version when confirmed stable enough to see if the issue
+ they had on the officially stable package is gone.<br>
+ <br>
+ I know that it would take many people to build thoose, but I'm
+ willing to download git-code &amp; compile &amp; build for Mageia.<br>
+ <br>
+ I've already managed to compile &amp; build the latest official
+ version of Transmission without using the official Mageia patches
+ &amp; I've got NO problem at all using the package.<br>
+ <br>
+ Test theese packages &amp; say what you think:<br>
