I really forgot about previous discussions about updates for contrib, and what ideas were put up and burned down. Isn't the most simple approach to use Mandrake-devel/unsupported/9.2 for this? If there's a way to upload packages for this directory, and have a hdlist generated there, then we can advertise it as a place to get unsupported updates. Since klama gets a chroot for 9.2, an upload script can be put in place to upload there, right? In MandrakeSoft's interest the best place is MandrakeClub, but I don't think it's a good solution for this. I tried getting an upload account there, but after three weeks I still don't have it. And I don't think the reason is that my packaging sucks, or I requested it in a rude way... So for now I just made my updates/backports available in an own repository. But if every contributor starts doing this, then it will still be a mess, so there needs to be a unified solution. -- Marcel Pol
