Description Morgan Leijström 2021-04-05 17:25:58 CEST 
At upgrade, mgaonline sets the mga8 repositories per mirrorlist.

But User may have previously chosen a specifc mirror for a reason: Maybe mirrorlist tend to chose a mirror that is often late, or user prefer a specific mirror, maybe a local at home/campus/company.

Suggestion: If *any* of the previously configured repos *was not* mirrorlist: ask user to select mirror/mirrorlist, using the same dialog that is used to set up repos on a fresh install.

Right, but, if chosen mirror does not have a copy of next Mageia version?

Yes optimally some check should be done.
I dont know if mirrors are actually checked working and updated when chosen by mirrorlist either.
