As you may have noticed, our servers are down. Investigations are underway. The wiki, build system, bug tracker and mirror list are offline. We’ll keep you informed of any developments here.
[Update Monday April 8 at 15:00] The servers have been restarted. This was due to an air-conditioning fault. The site, wiki, bug tracker and mirror list are back. We’re still updating the build system.
We are proud to announce the introduction of multi version support for php in mageia 9.
Now php 8.3 can be installed in parallel to the existing php 8.2 packages. Due to this, we also update the pecl packages as they would interfere with the process.
Please note, that the default configuration is used by both versions. In order to prevent warnings, all packages from php 8.2 have to be installed for php 8.3 too.
Update notice:
If you have installed php 8.2, and want to install the same packages, use
rpm -qa '*php*' --qf '%{name}\n'|sed 's/php/php8.3/'|\
xargs urpmi --autoRemember that for the command to work you must have backports repositories enabled.

We will announce on backports-announce@ml.mageia.org when new backports are available for testing and when they be promoted to backports repository, We are still tuning the process and the format for the announces.
Let us know what you think.
P.S: Some corrections received were applied to the suggested command to install the php 8.3 packages from the php 8.2 packages installed on your system.
http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia is not synchronized, and several of the servers use it as a source for synchronization.
We recommend setting up a custom server to urpmi or dnf .
Keep an eye on this article and the page https://mirrors.mageia.org/status.
You may have been alerted by the announcement that the xz software has been modified to introduce a backdoor (CVE-2024-3094).
This software is a file compression utility. It is widely used in Mageia, since RPM packages are compressed using this utility.
The alert concerns versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 of the software. Mageia does not use and has never used these versions. Mageia users therefore have no particular action to take.
Mageia made it to a byte’s worth of releases when Mageia 8 was released in 2021. Mageia 8 was a very successful release which has received 21646 updated packages and thousands of security fixes, keeping it current and secure thanks to the work of the packaging, security, and QA teams. However, it is now time to bring this chapter to a close and focus on Mageia 9 and the support for both the latest software in the open-source ecosystem as well as the hardware support provided by newer kernels and other key software stacks that it provides. We hope that this will give users an excellent experience with a modern diverse open-source system. Full details of the features in Mageia 9 can be found in the release notes.
Support for old releases extends to 3 months after the latest release. We would therefore ask that users of Mageia 8 look to upgrade to Mageia 9, as support for Mageia 8 is ending with the last few updates being validated now.
There are multiple update paths available, these include:
It is also possible to upgrade or perform a clean installation from the classical installation media, while the live media can be used to test Mageia 9 or perform a clean installation. This option may be useful for users with limited bandwidth or performing updates on multiple installations.
Please note, if performing a clean installation, all data not saved on a separate /home partition will be erased. Please check and make sure appropriate backups are in place.
If you have any questions or need some help with upgrades, assistance can be found on our forums which cover most languages or on the Mageia wiki.
