Cauldron repos

Are the Cauldron repos supposed to replace or overlay the Mageia 8 repos?

The wiki instructions differ between the urpmi and dnf instructions. The urpmi instructions replace the repos and the dnf instructions add them to the existing repos.

I only use urpmi, so for me it is replace the Mageia 8 repos.
not a good idea to mix version repos.

(as an aside, you are currently unable to complete an upgrade to Cauldron, (database errors) so you would be best to install via net-install media)

Oops, sorry about that. I didn't see that category.

After giving it some thought last night, I used dnf but disabled all the Mageia 8 repos first even though it wasn't in the instructions

I did the upgrade last night using dnf without obvious issues. Is there something I need to check for to make sure there isn't something wrong?
