  • [OT] Mandriva -stale news

    From Doug Laidlaw@2:250/0 to All on Mon Feb 10 05:51:17 2020
    In 2012: "Mandriva divides itself once again
    Vendor will use two upstreams for server, OEM products"

    I just found this. I had heard about it, but didn't know its status.
    Mandriva had decided to base its server products on Mageia, because OpenMandriva was not considered sufficiently mature.

    I rather likked the DistroWatch comment:

    "Mandriva is a distribution which is almost always in a state of change."

    I have yet to make OpenMandriva run on my hardware.

    Didn't Mandriva morph into Mageia, way back when??

    Now is Mageia being morphed back into Mandriva??

    More like a split.

    Nope.

    Note the date on that post-- 2012. I think you would have heard about in
    the past 8 years if it had happened:-)
    (Mandriva fired a bunch of people who did not agree with the direction
    Mandriva was going in. They started up a community based distribution
    that they called Mageia. Mandriva itself has limped along for years, not
    really getting anywhere is how I understand it.
