Hi!
Now & then I tend to loose my mind & install Ubuntu on one of my
computers & the last time I did it I heard about PPA's. I added a PPA &
noticed how fun it was to test the code that it offers.
This is the explanation of what PPA is & does according to the Ubuntu-page:
*"Personal Package Archives (PPA) allow you to upload Ubuntu source
packages to be built and published as an apt repository by Launchpad."*
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 & 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 & compile & build for Mageia.
I've already managed to compile & build the latest official version of
Transmission without using the official Mageia patches & I've got NO
problem at all using the package.
Test theese packages & say what you think:
