I would say :
- A release every year.
- During this year, a way to update some popular stuff (firefox,
chrome, libreoffice...)
- During this year also a way to add some new package if needed or
if there is some instant success for a new software.
Every 3 years, the release is LTS and that mean it would be maintain
for 4 years.
So at the same time, mageia would be in 3 mode :
- The LTS
- The common release
- The cauldron.
I completely agree with this. There is no real need to rush releases as
long as new versions are easily available. I know backports repo is
available but its not very user friendly. As an example, the newer
versions of Openshot video editor have a very nice feature of being able
to do animated titles. To be able to use them you need Blender 2.5.
Whilst Mageia includes Openshot 1.3.1 (which errors with missing plugins
btw) which at time of writing is current it still has Blender 2.49b.
It would be useful if there were a nice user friendly way to upgrade
Blender when it is backported. Something to let ordinary users know a
newer version is available and a simple click to upgrade it.
LTS releases in Ubuntu IMHO are a great idea and one which would add
value to mageia as a potential server/business OS where stability over
time is crucial.
I dont think Joe Bloggs really cares about a 6 monthly distribution
upgrade, only that new versions of the software they use are easily
obtainable in the mean time and won't break the distribution upgrade
when it comes around.
