I rsynced / of my machine to a chroot and tried to update to cauldron.
This is a machine which has been running cooker x86_64 since April 2005 and was updated to Mageia 1.
It went mostly fine.
- pscs-tools + perl-pcsc-perl from Mandriva got removed due to new perl (I pepared the packages but no svn currently)
- cups-drivers-foo2zjs was uninstalled due to missing /usr/bin/wish. So did, printer-filters (because of cups-drivers-foo2zjs)
- While dracut was running, it displayed plenty of libkmod: index_mm_open: major version check fail: 65537 instead of 2953311319
- /usr/bin/gnome-font-viewer, /usr/bin/gnome-thumbnail-font and /usr/share/applications/gnome-font-viewer.desktop from gnome-font-viewer-3.4.0-1.mga2.x86_64 conflicts with gnome-control-center-2.32.1-3.mga1.x86_64. I will fix it when svn is reachable.
Given that this is a chroot I could not try to boot it.
I may try on / soon but don't want to take any risk given than I don't have any monitor at home if something goes wrong :)
