The mageia update policy, if i like to package a new version if the new version only have new features/not report bug fix, the package ends in backport and not regular updates 2. The actitud against some stuff like cdrtools, i read some say literally that don't allow in mageia in his life, yes actually is not in our repositories but if we want , we can include. 3. The love and care for the project, it was started in mandrake/mandriva time and even if is only the shadow of the best times, as long as we can we keep it. 4. That not solves the root cause of the issues and other third party repositories will suffer of this.

Changes from the current spec in Cauldron
These changes split a package for /usr/share/rpmdrake/gui.lst, allowing to third party repositories to release a custom version of the file
I'll upload a spec to do that tomorrow, need to consider how not remove information of other repositories that maybe want to provide their own file
Not as easy as I think when try to update rpmdrake-data from the version created by the changes in the spec to on build by myself from other source the installation is not possible because file conflicts, need an advice Created attachment 14149 [details]
Spec to provide custom version of /usr/share/rpmdrake/gui.lst
I use a procedure that works for me in the past
It's not necessary to split a package for /usr/share/rpmdrake/gui.lst
Maybe need more work
I can create a package and share with MLO, but not sure if it's the best approach
