'Twas brillig, and Guillaume Rousse at 22/04/12 19:01 did gyre and gimble:
+> Despite not realling blocking for mageia 2 release, the issue is still
+> to address, the sooner the better.
+> 
+> Here are the previous discussion references:
+> https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3101
+> https://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-dev/2012-March/013649.html
+> 
+> Various proposal sofar:
+> 1) provide an upgrade package with current content and some README.urpmi
+> file telling to fetch it from oracle
+> 2) provide an upgrade package with just the README.urpmi file
+> 3) provide an upgrade package with some kind of automated downloading
+> script
+> 
+> We need both a consensus and someone to implement it, preferentially the
+> maintainer of course.
+> 
+> I personally think 3 is way too much work for the added value, and 2
+> seem both the easiest and safer option.
+
+I vote 2.
