My understanding was that part of the attraction of + Ubuntu's PPAs was that any registered user could create one, + making it an easy way for developers to distribute their + software until Ubuntu proper gets around to creating an + official package.
+
+

+
+ Yes that's correct anyone that knows how can make a PPA for Ubuntu. + As for registration I think that has never been needed to make PPA's + for Ubuntu.
+
+ Users of any PPA have to trust the person or people who made it, + that they aren't getting malicious software from the PPA. So on a + official Mageia PPA's or something like PPA's sub site, they could + be offered, but I think should only be from people who have gone + through the Mageia packaging process and that are trusted, as I + suggested in the other message.
+
+ With Ubuntu Some PPA's used to be sort of supported by the Ubuntu + Community, more recently in general PPA's with Ubuntu are supported + more, because the software centre can install them for example.
+
+ Before PPA's if I remember correctly Wine used to have a special + repo for Ubuntu, but for a rather long time those that want the very + latest final version can install the PPA instead. Pidgin also offers + a PPA and has done for a rather long time for it's latest final + version.
+
+ With Ubuntu 11.04 which uses GNOME 2 with their patches as the fall + back mode, and Unity on top of GNOME 2 as the default, there was + also a PPA made for GNOME 3. I tried the PPA out in both Beta 2 and + the final I think, and it didn't work that well for me, and this + seems to have been the case for a lot of other people as well, but + it was known to be buggy.
+
+ So put simply all a PPA tends to be is a way for users to easily + install later versions of software without having to use a + development version of the distribution that offers a later version + of the software that is wanted. Or without waiting until the next + version of the distribution.
+
+ PPA's are repo's as a result the software in those repo's will be + updated usually at times, and proper updates not just security.
+
+ With PPA's it's ok for them to be buggy as mentioned in my previous + email, because unlike backports they probably haven't gone through a + proper QA process.
+
+ Backports from Cauldron to Mageia 2 it seems will probably start + being offered soon after Mageia 2 has been released, but I don't + know for sure. However I do think that having something like PPA's + as well for Mageia would be quite a good thing indeed! As long as + users understand that they may be buggy, and shouldn't be relied on + to much if wanting loads of later software, than what the current + latest stable version of Mageia at the time is offering. Many + Mageia users who would like a lot of later versions of software than + what the repo's of a final version of Mageia has, should probably be + running Cauldron instead really.
