Isn't Mageia 7 EOL tomorrow? Nope. That's what our website says: https://www.mageia.org/en/support/ 31 May 2021 "plus 3 months after Mageia 8 release". Both are passed as of today. Yes but a recent Council decision is to postpone to one more month the EOLing of Mageia 7. The first and main motivation is the late activation of Mageia Online Update (mgaapplet) and let users to migrate. CC:

ouaurelien What council decision? Where ? From this: https://ml.mageia.org/l/arc/council/2021-05/msg00010.html To this: https://ml.mageia.org/l/arc/council/2021-05/msg00017.html Heh, that thread only confirms it has already been eol for a few months, and now we should keep pretending that it's supported for another month... IMO at this stage if we want to keep giving some support for users until they migrate to Mageia 8, it should be limited to the most critical components. glibc, kernel, firefox, etc. The issues in minetest are definitely not critical, they're all related to security *within the game*, i.e. users being able to cheat. I would advise users who play games on Mageia to upgrade to Mageia 8 to benefit from the latest GPU drivers and feature releases of their games. More on topic though, upgrading Mageia 7 users from minetest 5.0.1 to 5.4.1 would require some QA to ensure that their local saved games don't regress. Manually backporting the fixes to the old branch may not be trivial (if they're applicable in the first place). So this would be a WONTFIX for me. Status:
