><i> I re-read the backports policy, and there's a part I think needs to be pointed
</I>><i> out before people start to backport packages.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> "We need to ensure that upgrades never fail: cauldron must always have a
</I>><i> higher version/release than in stable releases."
</I>><i>
</I>><i> This statement is true, but implies more than what it says. It means that we
</I>><i> can't backport a package for Mageia 1 with a higher version than what we have
</I>><i> in Mageia 2 release (and updates?) media. And this, until we are able to take
</I>><i> backports into account during upgrades.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Example :
</I>><i> - Mageia 2 has wesnoth 1.10.2 in core/release
</I>><i> - Mageia 1 can't get a higher version in its backports media
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Do you all agree with my understanding of the policy ?
</I>><i>
</I>><i> This is a serious limitation to our ability to backport to Mageia (n-1) and
</I>><i> even to our ability to provide security fixes to backports there (will not
</I>><i> prevent it, but will prevent to do it by a version upgrade, which is the
</I>><i> common way to fix that kind of issue in backports).
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Maybe we shouldn't open backports for Mageia 1, and make sure upgrade to
</I>><i> Mageia 3 can take backports from Mageia 2 into account so that backports to
</I>><i> Mageia 2 are not stopped when Mageia 3 is released. Then we'll be safe.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Samuel
</I>I think backports should be open until new stable is released. So we should not open
backports for mga1 and when mga2 is released then backports for mga2 will be closed.
It's the only way we can manage upgrades with our current packager resources.
