Mageia 1 reaching EOL

Posted on November 5, 2012 by tmb

This is a reminder about the end of life process for Mageia 1.

Mageia 1 got the project off to a great start, and is soon heading for a well deserved rest.

According to our support policy every release is supported for 18 months which means Mageia 1 will reach end of life on the December 1st, 2012.

This means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates after that date. You are encouraged to upgrade to Mageia 2 to remain fully updated.

Please see here for more information on upgrading.

Troubles with the mailing-lists server

Posted on October 23, 2012 by Anne Nicolas

As some of you may know, part of our mailing-lists are still hosted on zarb.org server and we thank them for that. This server is having an issue at the moment and is unreachable. So for now following mailing-lists are unsusable:

  • mageia-dev
  • mageia-discuss
  • mageia-sysadm
  • mageia-i18n

We are waiting for more information. Stay tuned.

Update (2012/10/24): problem is now solved

After a nice bug hunting, Mageia 3 alpha 2 is out!

Posted on October 14, 2012 by Anne Nicolas

After some days spent on bug hunting with QA team, alpha 2 isos are finally ready to be tested.

Alpha 2 comes with a full set of isos. As usual you will find 2 DVDs using classical installer and a dual arch CD. Live isos are also available, using now OverlayFS: 2 32 bits Live CDs only in English and 4 multilingual LiveDVDs (32 and 64bits). This is a result of a discussion in Mageia community to rethink our current set of isos. We still have some work to do in installer to propose non-free drivers installation.

More information about Mageia 3 alpha 2:

We need your report now to improve this new version.

Enjoy!
