Owner

Resources

rpm tools developers, packagers, QA.

Current status

  • Targeted release: Mageia 8

Detailed Description

We see regularly people that doesn't update mageia when suggested and wait. Sometime, wait too long.

Some of them already tried to update from mga5 to mga7 without updating to mga6 first.

We can do something to prevent this situation, comparing the /etc/product.id : release=x and the media added.

For example: https://www.mageialinux-online.org/forum/topic-27276+connexion-ethernet-impossible.php
