For those who still have to use Mageia 1, or still need it as a backup, here is a list of the updates Luigi committed to SVN after Mageia 1's End Of Life.

After the list you'll find instructions on how to turn those commits into packages and how to install those:

flash-player-plugin also has a newer version available, but since the Mageia 2 flash-player-plugin package works just fine on Mageia 1, Luigi won't be updating that one in SVN anymore.

install in this order:

INSTRUCTIONS

You have to install the mgarepo and bm packages. There are some explanations about mgarepo on the Wiki that explain how to get it working with anonymous SVN access https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mgarepo#I_don.27t_have_a_packager_account_and_want_to_do_an_anonymous_checkout_using_mgarepo, which most people would need to do.

Then, as normal user, do (replace package with name of the SRPM from above):

Code: Select all: mgarepo co -d 1 package

Code: Select all: cd package

Code: Select all: su -c urpmi --buildrequires SPECS/package.spec

to install buildrequires

Code: Select all: bm -l

this will build the RPMS and give the RPM filenames at the end

In most cases, this will suffice to install the updated packages:

Code: Select all: su root

Code: Select all: rpm -Fvh RPMS/*/*.rpm

Code: Select all: exit

Note: Don't use those instructions to do a fresh install of a package. If that is what you need, then first install the one that is available from a regular Mageia 1 repository and then update it.

1st-3rd edit: merged instructions, put list in alphabetical order, re-added dbus-glib
4th, 5th: adjusted according to Luigi's suggestions, removed comma and [DRAFT] message and tags
6th, 7th edit: s/10.0.12ESR/Firefox and Thunderbird 10.0.12ESR/ , added -d 1 to mgarepo command
8th edit: added hplip

IMHO there is no point in posting both the normal and the simplified instructions, as they do the same,
and currently this will just do the contrary, namely make it much more difficult than it actually is.
Maybe you should ask Luigi to take a look and simplify the instructions and consolidate mine into his.

by **marja** » Feb 18th, '13, 22:53

You're right, doktor5000, but I'll wait with asking until he processed the messages I already sent him since starting this thread

Edit: didn't need to ask :-D

Luigi already replied to most of that question, so I merged the instructions.

Last night, Luigi updated (again):

Note that in the instructions there was a mistake, that has been fixed last night, too. -d 1 was missing from

Code: Select all: mgarepo co -d 1 package

So if you were surprised to see Mageia 3 packages being built instead of Mageia 1 packages, just try again with the good command

Luigi added a patch to hplip in Mageia 1 SVN

After taking the steps described here https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mgarepo#I_don.27t_have_a_packager_account_and_want_to_do_an_anonymous_checkout_using_mgarepo I get:

Code: Select all: [jan@woonkamer ~]$ mgarepo co -d 1 rootcerts Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive). svn: To better debug SSH connection problems, remove the -q option from 'ssh' in the [tunnels] section of your Subversion configuration file. svn: Network connection closed unexpectedly It seems ssh-agent or ForwardAgent are not setup or your username is wrong. See http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=svn-faq for more information. [jan@woonkamer ~]$

Should I have used a different command for an anonymous checkout?
The link http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=svn-faq doesn't work.

Well, to test it, and to rule out that my existing packager account is used, i've created a new user and did the steps:

Code: Select all: [doktor5000@Mageia2 MGA]$ su - test123 Passwort: gpg-agent[23547]: Verzeichnis `/home/test123/.gnupg' erzeugt gpg-agent[23547]: Verzeichnis `/home/test123/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d' erzeugt gpg-agent[23548]: gpg-agent (GnuPG) 2.0.18 started [test123@Mageia2 ~]$ mkdir ~/.mgarepo; cp /etc/mgarepo.conf ~/.mgarepo/config [test123@Mageia2 ~]$ mcedit ~/.mgarepo/config [test123@Mageia2 ~]$ grep mirror ~/.mgarepo/config mirror = svn://svn.mageia.org/svn/packages/

Checkout works (i just use a different syntax, as i'm used to that)

Code: Select all: [test123@Mageia2 ~]$ LC_ALL=C mgarepo co 1/rootcerts Using the svn mirror. To be able to commit changes, use 'mgarepo switch' first.

So please check your ~/.mgarepo/config again, or post the output of grep mirror ~/.mgarepo/config

The user I know from real life who stayed on 1, has now decided to upgrade to 2 and live with a downside. The ones who still use Mageia 1 as back-up system, won't build the packages from Luigi's commits and I don't have time to do it for them.

Does anybody read this thread who still needs Luigi's commits and who will use them?

by **luigiwalser** » May 20th, '13, 21:57

Just in case anyone was still using these, Mageia 3 is out now, so I won't be making any more commits to Mageia 1 SVN. The packages that have been updated in Mageia 1 SVN since this thread was last updated (February 22) are:
krb5
libxml2
git
ruby
libxslt
gajim
libarchive
postgresql9.0
curl
krb5 (again)
x11-server
util-linux-ng
libtiff
gpsd
python-httplib2
openvpn
openswan
