Hi. Have you(someone at mandraksoft) considered som debian like process where: -There is a stable, testing and unstable version( stable = mdk 8.0, testing = next stable candidate, unstable = cooker) -Automatic bug tool, that is user submit bugs, they are registered to a package, assigned to a responsible person for that package, responsible person checks bug and either fixes it, etc. -if package in unstable has no critical bugs, and is older than X days, move from unstable to testing, else if no critical bugs, and critical package, and older than Y days, move to testing. -There are required scripts in each package in testing to make upgrade from previos versions. So that one can make an incremental update, and never reinstall again. Nice for servers ;-) This would ensure some stability for testing, bleeding edge for cooker/unstable, and force maintainers to at least mark the bugs as not critical for the package to be accepted. If there is a system like this deployed already, great work, and sorry for not knowing, and please give me a reference to where I might educate myself. -- MVH Jørgen H. Fjeld
