</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; Received from Manuel Hiebel on Tue, Oct 04, 2011 at 06:39:58PM EDT:
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; Le mercredi 05 octobre 2011 &#224; 00:35 +0200, Mageia Team a &#233;crit :
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Name        : terminator
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; lebedov &lt;lebedov&gt; 0.96-1.mga1:
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; + Revision: 151564
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; - Update to 0.96.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; Why ?
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; (And there are some python-* in updates_testing without bug report
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; for the QA.)
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; Where should they go?
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; according the policy:
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; For the most part, an update should consist of a patched build of the
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; same version of the package released with the distribution, with a few
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; exceptions:
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;       *     Software versions that are no longer supported upstream with
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;       
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;         updates (firefox and thunderbird seem to fall into this category
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;         these days)
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;       
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;       *     Software that is version-bound to an online service (games,
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;       
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;         virus scanners?) and will only work with the latest version.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;       
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;       *     We will make exceptions for packages that did not make it
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;       
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;         into mga1 and are additions to the distribution, provided they
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;         do not impact any other packages and can pass full QA.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Updates are not the appropriate place for packages created to satisfy
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; certain user's urges for &#8220;the latest&#8221;. These types of builds belong in
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; backports.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; <A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=updates_policy">http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=updates_policy</A>
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Has any decision been made on when the backports repository be
</I>&gt;<i> open for submissions?
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> 						L.G.
</I>
Yes and no. Decision is : as soon as sysadmins are ready. Practically, this 
means that a sysadmin has to find the time to do it, and the proposed technical 
solution can take time to implement. That's why I proposed 2 other solutions 
that would allow to open really soon but haven't really got an answer.

I'll try to have it added as the subject to tonight's packager meeting.
