[Mageia-dev] [ANN] Mageia-release upload and urpmi breakage

Mon May 30 18:17:32 CEST 2011

Hi,
+
+as we have uploaded the new version of mageia-release, some of you may
+have seen that urpmi sources have been changed to use 
+distrib/1/ instead of distrib/cauldron/ , especially if you didn't touch
+to the default configuration.
+
+Not all mirrors are in sync, and in fact, most are not proposing the
+stable release yet ( especially the main mirror ), as we are still
+working on it.
+
+So urpmi is likely broken for most testers that updated in the last
+hour.
+
+So if you are affected, you can either 
+1) wait until everything is working ( likely tomorrow )
+
+2) drop all sources and add again the cauldron one by hand
+( urpmi.addmedia --distrib + url )
+
+3) change /etc/mageia-release by hand, replace "1" by "cauldron"
+
+If you are not affected, just refrain from updating mageia-release until
+we finish the work on the mirrors.
+
+Things should be working fine once the release is out, so have no fear. 
+As we are busy, do not hesitate to forward for us the mail on forums,
+identica, others ml, and direct people who have question on -dev.
