+software from another distro won't work if it needs other versions of those
+libs.
+It can work without problems even if the libs aren't exactly the same, but
+when there are major changes in the used libs it won't. The better solution is
+to rebuild those packages for the distro you want to use the software on.
+Another thing is, using packages from other distros may bring problems in the
+future, when urpmi tries to upgrade the system and it won't be able to resolve
+some dependencies because the version of the third-distro package won't fit the
+requirements of some Mageia package.
+If you really do find some software you can't find, I'm sure there will be some
+way of putting a packaging request on the bugzilla.
