A reminder to everyone that Mageia 5 will be EOL on the last day of October. After that there will be no more updates. If you feel there is a critical bug that needs to be attended to before EOL please file a bug at:

https://bugs.mageia.org/

and mark it critical.


edit doktor5000: current EOL dates can be checked at https://www.mageia.org/support/#lifecycle

Yes. All of the repo's remain (on most mirrors) indefinitely, for example:
ftp://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/Mirr ... a/distrib/

It is good to know that the repos will be up, because I will stick with M5 for a while.
I hope mageia guys will be able to push the final updates for the kernel 4.4.92 and Nvidia drivers 384.90 before the EOF of M5.
wilcal can you change the title, EOF of M5 is 31 Oct 2017 according to this https://www.mageia.org/en/support/
