Repositories - jrasmussen - 11th November 2016
Under "Other Software" I see that maui-2 xenial main is checked by default.
I'm wondering if anyone can give a description of what maui-xenial-backports xenial main and
maui-xenial-backports-neon xenial main would cover?
Any risks/conflicts with activating them as well?
Thanks

See this post (the background section) for more information:

In short for now the backports repos don't contain anything newer.

Thanks for the reply. So if I'm understanding correctly, the backports repos will contain newer/potentially less stable packages? Also, if that's the case, what is the difference between the 2 backports repos?

One backports repo is for maui specific packages (default artwork & configurations & installer) and the other one is for a cloned (snapshotted) Neon which basically means newer Plasma versions.

For users who choose to retain the current standard Maui 2 repos ticked/unticked, & who thus are still on Plasma 5.8.2, can you offer any hint as to roughly when your testing of 5.8.3 might be complete, & hence become available to us via Update Manager, pls?
