[SOLVED] Downgrade MGA Couldron to stable

Postby kensan » Apr 14th, '19, 15:03

Hi, I have successfully installed MGA Couldron beta 2, i have read it will be beta 3 and then I hope it will start the RC series. At the end the Release Candidate series I have read in the Mageia blog that I stay in the Couldron channel, so my packets will change to mga8.

Yeah, updates will move you thru beta 2, 3 and final release version. So no need to reinstall then. But you’ll might need to adjust repositories to stay there. Otherwise the install will follow Cauldron.

https://blog.mageia.org/en/2019/02/24/announcing-mageia-7-beta-2/#comment-8932

I've search info for the downgrade and I have find this:

Code: Select all
# urpmi.removemedia -a

Add the Mageia 7 online sources, either:
# urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist 'http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.7.$ARCH.list'


It is correct? It is all fine?

And when I must add the Mageia 7 online sources and remove Couldron media?

You want to remove all your repos during the freeze for the final release, after the last release candidate. Afterwards there's usually a grace period of 1 or 2 weeks until cauldron reopens, so you have some time to do it.

I've also moved your thread to the cauldron subforum ;)
Cauldron is not for the faint of heart!
Caution: Hot, bubbling magic inside. May explode or cook your kittens!

TY Doktor. You confirm the procedure that I have quoted. I have a grace period of 1 o 2 weeks. I should check the MGA 7 development process week by week. It is a work!! But I'm very happy for this release, so TY Mageia Team! (and the community)

If there is nothing to add I mark this 3ad as [RESOLVED].

you may like to check your current on-line-repos- they are likely already "7",
If so, no more to be done.

Very good, so I'm not in the Cauldron chancel. I'm in the stable channel.

Edit: so the people like me can switch to the 7/cauldron channel after the alpha steps and stay in this channel. Automatically I can update to the stable channel: very well :).

The only thing I would add, is, maybe add the "tainted" repos for things like audio / video codecs.

and also,maybe the 32bit repos to install things like Wine32 etc (6 check boxes)
