Hello,

Is it possible to add mageia repositories to fedora and use something like "urpmi --auto --auto-update --replacefiles' ?

Possibly using dnf?.

Hi there, if what you're asking is "Can I migrate from Fedora to Mageia" then the answer to that is, no you can't. You have to reinstall.
Although you could install Mageia alongside Fedora in dualboot, and use the existing /home partition, that way you keep your user data, configuration and documents.
