Backport Repos - Spargeltarzan - 2nd January 2017

Hello Maui Team!


I am brand new to Maui (~2 weeks) and I have some questions how to configure my repositories correctly:
-) What exactly is a Backport Repo? Do I need to activate these to get the latest KDE Plasma desktop and applications?
-) What is the difference between Backport and Backport-neon?
-) Will packages from Backport move to the official Maui 2-1 after testing?
-) What is your recommendation?

I have attached my standard repo setup to this post; since I installed Maui two weeks ago I haven't received any updates, what made me think about my repos.

Thank you for your answer and I want to say that in the last two weeks it was a pleasure to use Maui!

Regards
Richard
