Detailed Description

Mga repos only consist of our own software. Other distributors have dnf repos. You can include those repos in mageia as well. But monitoring updates is hard. For all end-users the just have the update announcement of mgaapplet. This tool only queries urpm sources and not dnf sources. So updates are not known to the end-user.

Why it would be good for Mageia to include it

mgaapplet is made for the end-user. They should trigger updates on their computer using this tool. But at the moment not all updates available are committed.

Test case

e.g. add vivaldi in dnf (https://repo.vivaldi.com/archive/rpm/x86_64), install it. If the next update is available, mgaapplet does not show news on this.
