Description Patric Schramm 2018-08-22 10:26:18 CEST 
It would be nice to have a backport of QGIS available for MGA 6 because it is a supported LTS from Upstream. Many users in science rely on plugins that are only supported in the actual maintained releases. I can help with testing the backport if needed.

THX in advance

Next week i will try to make a build on the openSuse build service. There is a good repository to base a build on.
Comment 3 Patric Schramm 2018-09-07 09:43:24 CEST 
Ok ive found out that there is a flatpak since a few days, so there wont be any need for a backport.
Comment 4 Patric Schramm 2018-10-18 16:44:22 CEST 
Bug can be closed as the Flatpak works flawless if bug 23644 gets fixed.

We need to close it now, anyway, because Mageia 6 is no longer supported. It might still get fixed to ensure a good upgrade path with mageiaapplet (which is currently disabled because it doesn't work well), but it will certainly not have more backports.

Note that Mageia 7 has qgis-3.4.8-1.mga7

If you still need to upgrade to Mageia 7: a safe way would be to use a netinstall ISO http://doc.mageia.org/netinstall/7/en/content/index.html and then select to upgrade in the "Install or Upgrade" step.

Resolution: (none) => WONTFIX
