Migration path?

[ivazquez]

How badly will it blow up 0.5.9.3 queues?

All of your current torrents and their statuses will persist through the upgrade, but you'll need to recreate your preferences entirely.

Bad use of updates-testing

[kevin_kofler]

That's really not a good solution. Updates-testing is not supposed to be a junkyard for packages which will never hit the stable updates. It's supposed to be a place where updates targeted for the stable updates go for a few days for some testing, then they get promoted to stable, fixed (and testing starts for the fixed version, so it's back to square one) or withdrawn (unpushed). Stuff you know will never hit stable should not be in updates-testing, it should be in a personal backports repo somewhere (e.g. fedorapeople.org).

I had decided upon this in the hopes that these can go stable one day (once there is some config-migration stuff in place); but that's not likely to happen so perhaps it is best that I post the packages to my personal webspace instead, as you mention.

I apologize for the misuse.
