Description of problem: [alain4@mag6 ~]$ rpm -q bleachbit bleachbit-4.1.0-1.mga8 last time I used bleachbit-4.1.0-1.mga8.noarch I was noticed that the last version 4.4.2 is already released; unfortunately, on bleachbit's site, they doesn't propose a rpm for mageia (the most relevant seems me the version for fedora 35) why haven't mageia released an update version of bleachbit? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Is there some other reason to update than "there's a new version available"? Security? Major bug fixes? According to Mageia updates policy [1] "Updates are not the appropriate place for packages created to satisfy certain user's urges for "the latest". These types of builds belong in backports."

Thank you Peter for the hint. Await your reply. Yes, please say why it matters. Such requests usually say something like "provides imortant new features or bugfixes", and give a relevant upstream URL (release note). Jani's comment about simply wanting the latest version of something is valid for our current release; but Cauldron should normally have latest versions for our next release, so such alerts are helpful for that. But I see Jani has just done "new version 4.4.2" in Cauldron, so please excuse me for assigning you this request. Do with it what you will: re-assign, bounce, straight update, backport.

Do with it what you will: > re-assign, bounce, straight update, backport. updating doesn't especially matter, but every time I open the gui, it says me that le last version 4.4.2 is released, with a link to the URL, and it seems to me that updating wouldn't be a bad thing. But I've founded 4.4.2 version in cauldron
We should disable the update check.

For the advisory, does this update just disable the upstream update check or is it a new version?
