<PRE>Le vendredi 8 juin 2012 11:40:59, Sander Lepik a &#233;crit :
&gt;<i> 08.06.2012 11:51, Samuel Verschelde kirjutas:
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; And what about security issues and bugs to those backports? It will use
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; more packager ressource to patch backports than to provide newer
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; versions, won't it?
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> If there is security issue then you have to fix it on cauldron too (usually
</I>&gt;<i> with new version, so you can backport it to stable version). At least
</I>&gt;<i> before release. And after backports are closed you can upgrade to latest
</I>&gt;<i> stable version (for example mga3) and get patched version this way. I
</I>&gt;<i> don't see the problem here.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>
So you mean that backports are supported for 9 months and then you have to 
upgrade to the next Mageia if you want security fixes... That's not what I call 
support :/ What about people who want not to upgrade their whole system to the 
next Mageia and still get support for that backport they installed?
