Well, you were not given assurance that all packages from Club would be supported, you joined MandrakeClub to support Mandrakesoft, mainly to develop the distribution itslf (if you read the page describing the benefits). > What are you expecting from club packages anyway ?

Well, I hope you aren't saying the KDE packages are crappy, since they are rebuilds from cooker ... so if they are, it would seem "Denis' refusal" has nothing to do with package quality??? Also, Denis had to set the system up with constraints which make it difficult to use existing tools for some checking. Anyway, please show which of the current packages in test: http://www.mandrakeclub.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=RPM&type=testing are crappy. Most of them are either cooker rebuilds, or have been uploaded to contrib (with no errors from bots or rpmlint), or are improvements over packages which were initially available in the comm source (ie done by ysomeone internally, and fixed by a contributor after starting from scratch). Or maybe you want to tell us which packages in free: ftp://archive.sun.ac.za/mandrake/mandrake-devel/unsupported/MandrakeClub/9.1/SRPMS/ are so crappy? Please don't just jump on the subject when the facts may not support your favourite gripe with MandrakeClub. The problem is that the person who uploaded them (fafane) seems to not actually test installation via urpmi. Lea, Mandrake Club staff may not read every single forum post, but they do read a few, fafane replied to some threads in one of the articles on KDE stuff. I don't see that you have bothered to post a message yet: http://www.mandrakeclub.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Splatt_Forum&file=viewtopic&topic=10351&forum=5 So I don't see why you are complaining here ... it would be better to note it there, and possibly send email to fafane (his email is easy to find). Otherwise, if nothing happens after you have tried, maybe someone else will upload the packages to test (if you ask nicely instead of accusing people first).
