My understanding, is that backports will have minimal testing.
We ensure the backport will install, on a system that currently
only has release + updates, and that the basic functions of the
package work, where it's possible for us to test.
We cannot possibly test every possible combination of selected
backports, and will not attempt to.
What I don't want to see, which I did with Mandriva backports,
is cases where unsigned rpm packages were in the repositories,
or installation required the use of --allow-nodeps or --allow-force,
due to file conflicts with release or updates packages. Those
problems were rare, but often enough, that I wouldn't let the end
users I support install backports themselves.
Regards, Dave Hodgins
