+<PRE>(Forwarding to mageia-dev too as I mention a potential policy change as a
+solution to speed up backports opening)
+
+(Summary from the sysadmin discussion: current settings don't allow per media
+pre-submit checks, only per release. Boklm proposes a rewrite using a
+database, which would be more flexible, but is, according to him, likely to
+take several weeks. Another (very quick to do, unless I'm mistaken) solution
+would be to always allow to submit from cauldron to updates_testing or
+backports_testing, but it means that we would lose the current checking that
+updates come from the 1/updates branch)

+</I>&gt;<i> /export/home/repsys
+</I>&gt;<i> rpm-macros = global 2010.0
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> We can do the same. But this would allow someone to submit from cauldron
+</I>&gt;<i> to 1/updates_testing.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>
+Given that the &quot;full&quot; solution is likely to take weeks with current sysadmin
+resources and workload (no rant here, just a statement), I favor this
+mandriva-like solution so that we don't wait any longer. I don't think there
+will be major problems and I can make the QA team check each update candidate
+in updates_testing to make sure it was submitted from the 1/updates branch and
+not cauldron.
+
+Another quick solution would be to change the policy and have packagers submit
+to backports from the 1/backports branch, like I (and several others) first
+proposed during the policy discussion. This would require only a little change
+to the configuration of the BS, unless I'm mistaken. AFAIK this solution was
+first discarded as a means to &quot;simplify&quot;, but it appears that with current
+implementation it's harder to apply the &quot;submit from cauldron&quot; solution. The
+drawback would be extra steps for packagers before submitting, but we can
+workaround that easily with our extraordinary scripting powers, from client
+side, and maybe even patches to mgarepo :)
+
+Could we go for one of those solutions (first one temporarily, or second one
+definitively) ?
+
