Hi folks, don't know if it was discussed previously, but I could not find it in the archives.
Are there some plans for any kind of ppa-like repos in Mageia/BS? There are some cases where they could be useful. One special case which comes to mind is wayland packaging - I was discussing with Florian Hubold about it, and the trick about them is that: - they require latest xorg stuff from git - they require latest mesa from git - they require latest libxkbcommon from git - they require latest pixman from git and it is, well, madness to provide such versions in main repositories. However, it would be a nice case for providing them in some sort of private branch (like for example people.mageia.org/<branch>/ or something), using the same BS infrastructure (iurt/jurt) to compile them and generate hdlists automatically. I did some custom scripts to do this task, but before reinventing the wheel for either mandriva or mageia BS, perhaps there is something already planned in this sense...
