Comment 2 Samuel Verschelde 2012-10-09 23:31:02 CEST
The policy for updates in Mageia is only bugfixes or security fixes, to prevent regressions. Are there bug fixes so important that they could require an update? If so, can you tell me which ones?
Comment 3 thierry rouillon 2012-10-09 23:53:33 CEST
This version is blocked on certain applications as itune 10. They are obliged to pass in 4.1.8

Comment 6 Samuel Verschelde 2013-09-02 14:25:22 CEST
So, I've got to find a compromise between stability (provide updates that change the software as little as possible) and this kind of application's special requirement for update, in order to support new applications.

I'll update it to 4.1.9 which seems to be a very stable version and that I've been using locally for a few months, but not to 4.2.1 which is too young.

Please test playonlinux-4.1.9-1.mga2 from the Core Updates Testing media.

ping. I'd like someone to test before I handle it to the QA team.

This message is a reminder that Mageia 2 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately one month from now Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 2. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '2'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 2's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Mageia 2 is end of life.  If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

No one tested the update candidate, and Mageia 2's end of life will be on Friday, so closing as wontfix.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => WONTFIX
