For years, the freeze never impacted our own tools since unless packages we are not upstream, we prefer to release than patch (which also helps get latest translations). Now, drakx* stuff got blocked. For years, the whole stack have been developped in the last minute. So I would request we relax the freeze for our own stuff. else It'll made pushing fixes quite slow painfull. In worst case, instead of pushing the stack in ~30mns, it may takes days. eg if I fix sg in urpmi, I've to wait for someone to actually push urpmi before asking to push drakx-installer-stage2 with new urpmi. Yes. Or you can backport the fix as patch. Or say that's just a bugfix release. eg if I fix sg in rpm, I've to wait for someone to actually push rpm before asking to push perl-URPM to drakx-installer-stage2. Perl-URPM would not require a version upgrade, so would not need anyone to push, as well as drakxinstall-stage2. Since a fix to rpm would be a patch, that's also no a version upgrade. So for version freeze, there is no need of anything special. And for release freeze, I would hope that we do not need fix that requires to rebuild 4 differents rpms. At least not more than once... It can become way more painful for eg: dietlibc fixkmod|ldetectdrakx-installer-binariesdrakx-installer-images eg: if would fix sg in dietlibc for kmod. Thus I would have 4 requests with delays between each. Or enable me to push new perl-URPM/urpmi/drakx* like I was able to do in the old days No, for the aformentioned reasons. --

Pushing fixes in the installer usually involves many stages... In the meantime, please let go in: 1) drakxtools: - english message improvement (mga#456) - diskdrake: o fix error on removing LVs o fix resizing LVs (mga#4666) 2) drakx-installer-stage2: - explain why acpi, acpid mageia-gfxboot-theme packages are selected - install more packages earlier (shorewall mandi), preventing useless installing steps later at summary stage - partitionning: o fix error on removing LVs o fix resizing LVs (mga#4666)
