Current status
- Targeted release: ASAP (alot sooner than Mageia 3)
- Last updated: 2025/05/11
- Percentage of completion: 100%
Detailed Description
make urpmi --update use --searchmedia instead of --media. it can still be overridden with --media. apparently MageiaUpdate doesn't use urpmi itself, but the perl bindings, so it has to be changed accordingly. perhaps the Installer also uses it in that way?
Update: Patch was supplied to do this, but there was some people who didn't agree.
New patch that would likely get agreement is to use the 'updates_for=<repos>' field to select the repositories, and have those marked as search_media.
Why it would be good for Mageia to include it
to not have bug 2317 (MageiaUpdate not being able to install deps from release media) and it's related issues
Test case
urpmi --update should get dependencies from release repositories too.
