<PRE>Hi!

Now &amp; then I tend to loose my mind &amp; install Ubuntu on one of my 
computers &amp; the last time I did it I heard about PPA's. I added a PPA &amp; 
noticed how fun it was to test the code that it offers.

This is the explanation of what PPA is &amp; does according to the Ubuntu-page:

*&quot;Personal Package Archives (PPA) allow you to upload Ubuntu source 
packages to be built and published as an apt repository by Launchpad.&quot;*

My idea would be something similar.

It starts with the user that gets annoyed how some Mageia-packages that 
are meant to be stable that they aren't.
Instead of having to do the job themselves they can just add a special 
media called user-contrib that contains packages built from git-source 
to be tested in Cauldron &amp; then released as Backport-version when 
confirmed stable enough to see if the issue they had on the officially 
stable package is gone.

I know that it would take many people to build thoose, but I'm willing 
to download git-code &amp; compile &amp; build for Mageia.

I've already managed to compile &amp; build the latest official version of 
Transmission without using the official Mageia patches &amp; I've got NO 
problem at all using the package.

Test theese packages &amp; say what you think:
