[SOLVED] Which software repositories for 6.1

Postby egc » Mar 27th, '19, 13:49

Hi, i wonder which media sources i should use for 6.1, those for 6 (as the package manager chooses automatically) or those for 6.1?
I noticed there is a little difference in packages, for example the 6 has Libreoffice 6.1.x, the 6.1 has Libreoffice 5.3.x ...
Thanks!

You are referring to software repositories?

If so, there are no 6.1 repositories. Mageia 6.1 is just a snapshot of Mageia 6 including all updates. Quoting the download page:

Live Media and Network Installation Media have been updated to support new hardware. They are called Mageia 6.1 release to distinguish them from the original Mageia 6 release. Use these if the original Mageia 6 iso images are unable to boot on your hardware, or if you would like more up-to-date software while running in live mode. Please take a look in the documentation for the appropriate media.There's no need to reinstall if you have Mageia 6 installed and already have the latest updates installed.
