[SOLVED] Why don't updates appear for Mageia2?

Postby Creto » Jun 27th, '12, 14:07

One thing I'm wondering is practically not update packages for Mageia 2. Mandrake, then Mandriva have always had to update many packages after installation. Mandriva 2011 broke the record, because after you have installed that update package gigas remade ...

But with Mageia 2 has virtually no updating software ...

This is normal, or personal development is all focused on Mageia 3 that there is no update for 2 Mageia?

We have almost 1 month 2 Mageia released and made some updates only 3 ...

Hope everything is ok

This was posted by fellow fraterlinux http://forum.mageiabr.org/viewtopic.php ... =844#p4698 and I also agree because they are already one month of use and still no updated applications, we asked what reason for that?

Thanks

Re: Why not now appear until application updates in Mag2?

There have been many more than 3 updates. Perhaps most updates did not affect packages that you use, or you are using a mirror that is not being kept current:

There are a number of updates still awaiting QA. The QA team are working hard but could use some help:

Also most packagers are glad to have some free time after release of Mageia 2, or are otherwise busy (f.ex. i'm busy with forum support, so package maintenace is lacking, sadly)
