</I>>>><i> Last solution, declare that cherry picking is not supported, or that
</I>>>><i> people are on their own, and explain the reason. However, people have
</I>>>><i> been asking this, and recommend this. This would also be against a goal
</I>>>><i> of having confidence in the backports.
</I>>>><i>
</I>>><i> I have always used backports in a total way : if I want latest software
</I>>><i> against stability, I take them all. Think about little dependencies that still
</I>>><i> exist (vlc + ffmpeg, etc).
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> So I would say Mageia has two update modes :
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> - end user (security) mode (updates)
</I>>><i> - power user (let's try everything) mode (updates+backports)
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> Each user will recognise himself in one of the two modes.la
</I>><i> So, where do I find myself in this scenario?
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I do not use backports in general, they are disabled.
</I>><i> A new version of foo is coming in in cauldron and I want to use it in Mageia 1.
</I>><i> A friendly packager builds a backport of this new version of foo for Mageia 1.
</I>><i> I enable backports, do "urpmi foo" and I get the version from
</I>><i> backports including dependencies.
</I>><i> After that I disable backports.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> This is the way backports have been used by many users in Mandriva.
</I>><i> And (BTW) this is the exact meaning of the word, a version is
</I>><i> backported from a newer distrib-version or cooker/cauldron to an older
</I>><i> distrib-version or current stable version.
</I>I use a few backported package on a Mdv install (please, don't lapidate
me, I have 2 mageia cauldron at home). To easily update them, I have
made a small and ugly bash script.
It can propably being optimised, clean, etc. I run it manually times to
times .
