Updates for Mageia 8

Postby mgkiwi » Sep 17th, '23, 10:01

Dear forum, I'm still using Mageia 8, which is supported until 30 November, according to the wiki. But the mgaapplet shows me only Mageia 9 updates.

I want to stay with 8 until I have time to do a clean install, my usual practice. How can I get Mageia 8 updates?

I must be missing something simple -- this hasn't been a problem with earlier releases.

Thanks for reading

Well, the last update is already quite some time ago, check e.g. https://madb.mageia.org/rpm/list/listtype/updates for last updates and https://madb.mageia.org/rpm/list/listty ... es_testing for update candidates.

I don't see any update candidates since july, so that explains why you don't see any mga8 updates currently.
