Hello everyone!
I run several machines with MGA7. I didn`t want to switch to MGA8,
because the makers of Mageia were working on MGA9 to release for more
than two years now, and I waited for MGA9 to directly replace MGA7. That
was my favourite.
But, as it looks like, MGA9 is still under development. They say, that
there are still lots of packages that persistently refuse to compile.
Does someone have experience with MGA9 Cauldron yet?
Can this be deployed for normal office applications, VPN, video
conferencing, some multimedia like cutting videos, playing SW
synthesizers and such tasks, without the risk that everything turns to
dust after the next "update testing"?
What, if MGA9 Cauldron will be made to MGA9 stable one day? Can
everything be kept, and only the package repo definitions have to be
updated?
Lots of questions, I know :-)
But, I need these machines for doing my job and some MGA7 packages are
too outdated to be still used. There is also limited feasibility to
selectively backport newer packages, because the dependencies go through
the roof.
Thanks for any idea!
Best regards,
Markus
