</I>><i> I suggest we add this point to tonight's meeting topics and that a decision
</I>><i> be taken then.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Then we would adapt the updates policy and the current packages in
</I>><i> updates_testing if the 0 release in updates is abandoned. We must also
</I>><i> decide if we continue to use subrels or not (using them could avoid
</I>><i> unneeded rebuilds in cauldron when there are packaging bugs in updates).
</I>><i>

Ok, there will be no meeting tonight, so let's decide it on the ML. Was
everyone convinced by misc's demonstration and do we agree to stop using the 0
release for updates and activate the Youri::Submit::Test::Precedence check on
submit to prevent higher releases in mageia n than in mageia n+1 ?
And if yes do we use subrels for subsequent modifications of packages that are
proper to the mageia 1 branch ?
I vote yes for both questions.
Samuel
