Description Anssi Hannula 2011-06-05 02:18:20 CEST 
The manual mirror adding command in the 2010.1 migration guide ( http://mageia.org/en/1/migrate/ ) is incorrect, as the system version is still 2010.1/2010.2 and it thus tries to add Mageia 2010.2 lists that don't exist:

urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist

Two options to fix:
1) Use explicit version:
URPMI_ADDMEDIA_PRODUCT_VERSION=1 urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist
or
2) Provide compatibility symlinks in the mirrorlist API.


Note that the migration is broken anyway due to bug #1588 (it adds Mandriva mirrors instead as they are cached).

Any status update? (Web page didn't change but has it been fixed in the API?)

Manual migration fails because of a bad selection of mirror 

urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.1.$ARCH.list

install mirror for cauldron version of mageia instead of mageia 1 
This behavior looks not be present with all mirror

the mirrorlist file for mageia 1 doesn't contain any cauldron url.

So the problem, noticed by misc, is that single quotes are missing around the mirrorlist URL.

The website should give this command :
# urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist 'http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.1.$ARCH.list'

> 'http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.1.$ARCH.list'

This is now fixed on the website.
