boatman9 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I found Twinkle 1.4.1 in 2009.1/i586/media/contrib/release/ as expected, but shouldn't version 1.4.1 also appear in 2009.0/i586/media/contrib/backports/ ? I am using 2009.0. Twinkle 1.4.2 was released on February 25, 2009. I have been waiting for it to update during one of my automatic package updates. When it did happen I eventually investigated what's in the repositories. Are the Mandriva 2009.0 repositories already dropped from current updates less that one year after it's release?

jkerr82508 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Whether or not a package in /contrib is updated or backported is entirely up to the maintainer. Packages in /main are updated by Mandriva for significant bug fixes and security issues only, not version updates. Backports of packages in /main are also discretionary. 2009.0 is still fully supported (for packages in the /main repo): http://www.mandriva.com/en/mandriva-product-lifetime-policy/ Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
