Apologies are due for the missing Roundup for Week 3; while the northern hemisphere has been freezing, down here in the south we have been boiling. Alas, all that heat doesn’t help with concentration! So, this is an aggregated Roundup.<\/span><\/p>\n

FOSDEM<\/span><\/h3>\n

February is FOSDEM<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>month – will you be in Brussels? Even when, as this year, we don’t have a stand, Mageians love to get together at FOSDEM. Check out the Wiki Page for this event<\/a><\/span>, and let people know you’re coming so meetings and the Mageia Dinner can be arranged.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some news<\/span><\/h3>\n

We were informed that mirror.math.princeton.edu will be down and physically relocated beginning 09:00 on Thursday, February 1. It is expected to be back online by noon that day. Note that their time zone is UTC -5, US Eastern Standard Time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Updates – Mageia 5 and 6<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

We’re still, like Zeno<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and his tortoise, not quite ready to completely finish adding updates to Mageia 5 – there are still a few of the Meltdown and Spectra-related security fixes in the pipeline. We’ll add a separate blog post for the event to keep you informed. Recent security updates to Mageia 5 include nspr, rootcerts, nss, firefox, firefox-l10n, glibc, bind, squid and gdk-pixbuf2.0. Check Mageia Advisories<\/a><\/span>\u00a0for more details, and note that there are no bugfix updates for Mga5.<\/span><\/p>\n

An update to the tray applet to upgrade from Mageia 5 to Mageia 6 is in QA testing; watch out for updates to this important utility. We hope it will smooth the path from 5 to 6 for those of you who want to do the version upgrade rather than a clean install.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Mageia 6, the security update list is even longer – webkit2, kmod-vboxadditions, kmod-virtualbox, virtualbox, graphicsmagick, nspr, rootcerts, nss, firefox, firefox-l10n, glibc, locales, systemd, bind, unbound, golang, mariadb, gdk-pixbuf2.0, gifsicle and squid. Bufix updates include joe , mpv, radeon-firmware, ldetect-lst, libdrm, mesa, wayland-protocols, x11-driver-video-amdgpu, x11-driver-video-ati, x11-driver-video-intel, subtitlecomposer, nvidia340, smtube, smplayer, cargo and rust.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cauldron<\/span><\/h3>\n

In the two weeks since the last Roundup, a staggering 939 package updates have come through into Cauldron! Maybe the devs are working so hard to keep warm? Thanks to them all, and to the QA\/testing and translation folks for their amazing work.<\/span><\/p>\n

As always, you can check for yourself on Mageia Advisories<\/a>, the Mageia AppDB<\/a>, PkgSubmit<\/a> to see the last 48 hours, and Bugzilla<\/a> to see what’s currently happening.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wiki updates<\/span><\/h3>\n

There’s also been lots of work happening on the Wiki, with updates and additions; check out the Recent Changes<\/a> page, where you can also subscribe to the Atom feed to receive email alerts when changes are made.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
