+4) install the new mageia-release packages from cauldron :
+   urpmi http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/i586/media/core/release/mageia-release-common-2-0.1.mga2.i586.rpm http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/i586/media/core/release/mageia-release-Default-2-0.1.mga2.i586.rpm

+
+This is for people who want to stay on cauldron after the release.
+
+For people who want to switch to the stable release, you need to stop
+updating now, and wait for the release to be available on mirrors, to
+add the release 1 sources.
