<PRE>Le mercredi 27 juin 2012 11:06:49 Sander Lepik a &#233;crit :

</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Or we could say &quot;partially supported&quot;, or &quot;low-priority support&quot;.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Since the support is more than just testing.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> How is it more than testing? QA will test if the package installs w/o
</I>&gt;<i> conflicts + will check that it at least starts. But that's about it. No
</I>&gt;<i> deeper testing like with Firefox or with LibreOffice.
</I>
It should be obvious : support is not just testing, it's also commitment from 
the packager to fix future bugs and security issues. Don't you see the 
difference ?

&gt;<i> &gt; Nominally, it is almost as much as regular packages, but with a lower
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; priority.
</I>&gt;<i> Regular packages get updates in special repo. Backports won't - so can't
</I>&gt;<i> agree here either. :)
</I>
An update for an update is in the same media as the previous update. Same as 
backports. Thomas is right.
