Re: When to move updates from testing to stable

Rule of thumb: Use development for the somewhat experimental stuff as
long
as the freeze is far away. The more dependencies, the higher the risk for
major version upgrades in "stable". They are not worth the trouble.
Updates-testing is not popular anyway.
That's exactly what was done with
vlc-0.9.x.
Updates on 0.9.x appeared only in rawhide along with my personal
repository for F-8/F-9.
Serious regressions were tracked and ripped out.
I don't come back on you explanations, you've just said that the
current repository wasn't designed for suches behaviour which we known
already.
I was suggesting to duplicate the buildsys (cvs builroot etc) to
another repository as described here:
http://lists.rpmfusion.org/pipermail/rpmfusion-developers/2008-October/00...
That's not a problem with following Fedora rules, but covering the users needs.
