[DONE]Updates Beyond Mageia

[infohou]

Hello,

I have a server running on Mandriva 2010.2 that I want to migrate to Mageia. The only real trouble I had with Mandriva was having to change the mirror every few months or I could not update. Now I find out Mageia has only short term support for updates. Is there a third party group providing updates beyond Mageia's support period?

Folks don't like to update Linux servers every 18 months unless absolutely necessary.

This server is SOLID and I do not want to start over with Centos or whatever. In fact the system started as Mandrake on different hardware.

Thanks Folks,

None that I'm aware of. The idea of a long term support version has been discussed, but that would require a significant increase in the number of people working on the distro - especially in the QA and Security teams, which are stretched to the limit already.

I was hoping somebody would say they are going to host updates.

If the upgrades between versions over the Internet gets better then it won't be a big deal to go to the next version.
