This page should be splitted in 3, for brainstorming purpose at the moment with release process and teams building shown in parallell :-)
Mageia Build-System process proposal
Download source Build-system XMind source (under WikiLicense) and edit it with XMind
DONE
- a user requests an upstream version of an application (well, should be done in the bugtracker, of course or a relay, be it manual or in a dedicated application)
- add workgroups (user + packager + triage team) for dedicated packages
- add power-user (may be a moderator in forum or specific-ML) or ad-hoc group of users that make a class-action request
- identify "spin-off" be it dedicated repositories for testing (if needed or at least group of users having specific-purpose interest)
- add mainstream release process (see below with alpha / bĂȘta / rc)
- add LiveCD community builds "trying it is being convinced" :) like MUD, XFCE, Community64... (well, just add that centralized repositories / work put in common is the default unless specific incompatibilities / build-specific features, e.g. Jack? XCB? which would have identified impacts for casual user)
- imho, make another diagram for backports requests (based on number of requests/popularity, identified people in charge of testing/packaging and maintaining those backports), this would provide a good explanation of rolling release vs backports vs updates according to many pov, be it packager, upstream, user, factual dependancies, developers of installation tools/mirror managers).
