<PRE>'Twas brillig, and Michael Scherer at 25/06/11 23:16 did gyre and gimble:
>><i> we
</I>>><i> always say that backports should mainly be cherry picked, but not
</I>>><i> enabled all the time... so how does installing a new version of e.g.
</I>>><i> wine break the user's system when he can easily back out that rpm?
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I a not sure that most people realize they can revert. Maybe a easier
</I>><i> interface to do that could be offered ( along maybe with a tool that
</I>><i> send feedback on why it did downgrade it ? ).
</I>
I've seen various ppa-purge commands being dished out for custom PPAs on
Ubuntu. It looks like quite a nice idea, but only really applies for
individual use archives (e.g. help us test the development version of
$foo), not a general purpose one like "backports".
That said, a GUI which detected that certain packages have come from
backports and offers and easy mechanism to "switch" back to the older
one from release or updates would, IMO, be a plus.
