What was your iso ? is it supposed to be fixed (and was the case in my test)
Freshly fetched (from mirror) hour before I reported. This is probably the latest, as bug 12089 is not in this one. boot-nonfree.iso, md5sum: aec53c870b5592620921bddc792732c3
it doesn't match the md5: http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/x86_64/install/images/MD5SUM-nonfree
That's the MD5 of Beta2 See http://svnweb.mageia.org/web/www/trunk/en/downloads/get/definitions.ini?view=markup&pathrev=2878#l572 It's old and has been fixed since.

Argh, yes i did not notice the download page directed me to sunet.se, and i did not check the files was recent. ( and i already knew - bug 12062 Doh.) I use a much more updated mirror for everything i set manually and also fetched my former boot iso manually, but now i got lazy and used the download page. So this is old, yes. Thanks for checking. Hmmm.... this raises the question if testers and developers should always use distrib-coffee directly. And cauldron need not be mirrored. And/or there should be some mechanism always used that check datestamp of used mirror, alerting user.

( and i already knew - bug 12062 Doh.) I missed to removed the no synced mirrors for the download page, will check. (for the main mirror api cf your bug I can do nothing)
(In reply to Morgan Leijström from comment #7) >if testers and developers should always use distrib-coffee directly. There are many mirrors that are up to date. You should check the mageia_timestamp file on the mirror from which you are downloading. If you want to test the pre-release iso's then you need to be registered as a tester: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Pre-release_ISO_testing Those who are registered as iso testers are provided with a password protected url from which pre-release versions may be downloaded.
Yes we testers could be aware to check datestamps. But lagging mirrors delay for all users, also including security updates. I* have also in th past had problems with (same i think) mirror for long time not updating all packages, leading to unsatisfied dependencies. Such problems exists for normal users. Therefor i think urpm* should check the timestamp automatically.
