remove python-distribute

We still have python-distribute.
I am listed as the maintainer. As far as I remember, we made it obsolete about a year ago because 
there are other packages that provide the same thing. I remember breaking the BS when I imported it.
But now I see Kharec imported it again on 2/22/13
It needs an update. Do we need to keep it?

Skype for Linux now updated to 4.2 !

Now that Cauldron is open . . . .

Our get-skype package only supports the 4.1 version - would be nice to
get the updated 4.2 

We can't use the Fedora or SuSE versions unfortunately.

Cheers,

Updates for stable

Hi all

When sending updates for mga2 or mga3 could you remember to list RPMs &
SRPMs and also an advisory on the bug report please when you assign it
to qa-bugs. Also to add yourself into CC.

https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Updates_policy#Maintainer_.28or_any_interested_packager.29

QA test RPMs but ask for SRPMs to be pushed so both are needed. The
advisory is there so we know what the update is for and what to test,
but it is also used on updates-announce ML and the wiki.

ie. https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Support/Advisories/

Many thanks

Claire

can a rpm belong to a parent group?

Hi *,

Mageia's group policy did split some categories into multiple ones -
what once was

Applications/Communications

is now

Communications/Bluetooth
Communications/Dial-Up
Communications/Fax
Communications/Mobile
Communications/Radio
Communications/Serial
Communications/Telephony

and as you can only assign one single group in rpm (AFAIK), what to do
with an application that covers multiple of those? Fax, Telephony &
Dial-Up for example. Is it permitted to use the group "Communications"
or does one have to pick one from the list?

ciao
Christian

Imagemagick

Funda:
Could you please look at Imagemagick.
I saw you built it a few times. Locally, I am getting worse errors just as wrong pointers in 
Ghostscript.
I need to update for a php-magickwand upgrade

Cauldron is open again

Hello,

Cauldron is open again (as can be seen with long build queue).

Happy Cauldron breaking !

adding Mageia to upstream WEB sites

Sorry, for posting this here, but I don't want to subscribe to additional list if possible.

I have added Mageia to an upstream WEB site as discussed earlier.
http://musescore.org/en/download

Some other Distri's provide a direct link. Maybe we have a WEB designer that could provide me with 
the code needed to do this?

What's in there now is:
