><i> At some stage we also need to look at providing vulnerability data in a
</I>><i> suitable format that supports automated validation (e.g. OVAL?), and a
</I>><i> site
</I>><i> able to browse advisories.
</I>
If this means less work, and is relatively easy to do by package
maintainers, then, this looks like quite a good idea.
>><i> Just some random crazy idea ...
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> IMHO we should focus on security and bugfixes for the stable release,
</I>>><i> and there are currently too many security bugs open, some for a
</I>>><i> really long time, where nothing is happening for months, yet we still
</I>>><i> talk and concern about opening backports.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> FYI: the reason I have been slow on updates for Mageia is that I still
</I>><i> have
</I>><i> systems running Mandriva, precisely because the bacports situation has not
</I>><i> been finalised, and I don't want to submit all missing packages in Mageia
</I>><i> 1 to
</I>><i> updates. Once backports is open, I can drop some Mandriva packages, and
</I>><i> spend
</I>><i> more time contributing to Mageia.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> So, you can't necessarily say that backports steals time from updates ...
</I>
interesting point of view...
