I strongly disagree. The policy is stating the exact opposite. And
also Michael seems to defend the policy as it is written, and not your
interpretation here.
That again you might have a different understanding of
bugfix-only-release. I think I stated mine often enough (increase in
micro version when package follows major.minor.micro versioning scheme
and no new features are introduced in micro releases).
So please change the wording of the update policy accordingly
<A HREF="https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Updates_policy">https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Updates_policy</A> reads:
##########
For the most part, an update should consist of a patched build of the
same version of the package released with the distribution, with a few
exceptions:
* Software versions that are no longer supported upstream with updates
(firefox and thunderbird seem to fall into this category these days)
* Software that is version-bound to an online service (games, virus
scanners?) and will only work with the latest version.
* We will make exceptions for packages that did not make it into mga1
and are additions to the distribution, provided they do not impact any
other packages and can pass full QA.
Updates are not the appropriate place for packages created to satisfy
certain user's urges for "the latest". These types of builds belong in
backports.
##########
I read it as "no version bumb is allowed (except for the three
exception-cases listed) - bugs are only fixed using patches", and I
don't see the interpretational freedom to allow upstream's bugfix
releases. Updating from 1.3.2 to 1.3.3 would not be in compliance with
the policy (if not in one of the three exception cases) - this is what
I have called stupid policy (and still do).
ciao
Christian
