Mageia forum

I would very much like to stick with Mageia as my primary OS but more and more packages I need for work are only available as .deb (typically aimed specifically at Ubuntu).

A very convenient way of dealing with this is to use Distrobox. However, we don't have Distrobox in our repos. I have no idea how hard it would be to add but wanted to suggest the idea and see if anyone other than me would use it!

A quick search…
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32435

Very strange - I have previously and this morning searched in Bugzilla and was surprised to find nothing. Now when I search, I get the one you've linked to. Thank you.

I note that the Wiki entry mentioned in https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32435 doesn't exist yet in English (only entry is https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Distrobox-pt-BR)

I will try the script later this week and then create Wiki accordingly.
