[Mageia-sysadm] Copying packages from release to updates_testing

[Samuel Verschelde]

Hi,

As was decided last week during packager meeting, we need to copy (or better, 
hardlink) packages from release to updates_testing when they are new 
dependencies to existing packages, or dependencies for packages added to 
Mageia 1 and that were not dependencies in Mandriva 2010.2.

Doing it would allow to push a growing number of updates that are blocked at 
the moment.

This is something only sysadmins can do at the moment, so how do you want to 
proceed ? Do you want the packager (or the QA team when missing deps are 
detected during testing) to give a list in the original bug report and assign 
the bug report to sysadmin-bugs ? Or do you plan to give the packagers a 
command in mgarepo to do that ?

Best regards
