Filed Under Mandriva, Uncategorized, plf

Mandriva continues to make improvements. They have added some repositories, testing and backports, and they have added an updates repository to Contrib. The announcement is here:

Mandriva Announcement at Mandriva Club.

Unfortunately, non-free packages remain only available to club members. If you aren’t a club member, check out PLF (Penguin Liberation Front). They provide just about anything you could want.

You can add these repositories using smarturpmi or easyurpmi. There is also Mandriva’s official Mirror Finder.
Updates in main are handled by Mandriva’s QA team. Updates in contrib are community maintained. Backports could work out nicely to keep programs up to date. This is all covered in TFA, I mention it here in case you chose not to R. This may not qualify as news, but I haven’t seen this mentioned anywhere.

More content is on the way… Thanks again for visiting.
