From the github page of exa:
"exa is unmaintained.
(This repository isn’t archived because the only person with the rights to do so is unreachable)"

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => WONTFIX

Comment 2 Morgan Leijström 2024-02-16 19:23:22 CET
Ah, good you checked.
Reading there it recommends to use the fork eza instead.

  The usual advice:

Assigning this package request to all packagers collectively. On a voluntary basis, one of them might want to integrate it to the distribution and maintain it for bug and security fixes.

You might also want to join the packager team to maintain this piece of software: see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager

I read the web for Mageia Packaging and i must to say is far away beyond my real skills. By the moment i'm afraid i can't be packager, sorry for that.

Ah good, I forgot to check there.

So if interested someone may introduce it as an "update" to Mageia 9.


@Jose: no need for excuse
-Many of us are no packager but we do other work in Mageia.
