[Mageia-dev] ANN: version freeze and what it means for Mageia 1 updates

[Samuel Verschelde]

Hi,

Just a quick reminder that the version and release of a package in cauldron 
must ALWAYS be higher (or equal) to that in Mageia 1. Otherwise we cannot 
guarantee upgrade from Mageia 1 to Mageia 2. Since we are in version freeze 
we must check this with more accuracy.

Packagers, let's keep this (obvious) rule in mind (I'm not sure it's 
enforced in the buildsystem yet, but I may be wrong).

QA Team, before validating an update, please check the version in cauldron.

BTW : do we have a check.mageia.org page to spot packages for which this is 
not the case, if there are any?

Maybe this reminder is not useful at all, but I think it's always better to 
send it rather than not.

Best regards
