Why not to just switch to 2014.0 repositories in the working system and run "urpmi --auto-update" or "urpm-reposync"?



did you try it.. ?

No, since I don't use OMV releases on a regular basis. I guess it's not surprise that I use ROSA:) And e.g. I had no problems with updates from MDV 2011 to ROSA Marathon long time ago using 'urpm-reposync'. But for example we don't support direct update from ROSA Marathon to ROSA Desktop Fresh (there are vital differences that are hard to be handled with package updates only, and per-package installer wouldn't help here). So it depends on the particular package base - if it is possible to update or not.

But according to OMA mailing lists, guys were able to perform 2013->2014 update successfully (with just several exception that due to issues with new packages).

i mus try install 2013 in virtualbox again and try to update again.. like you told.. but why the hack can we not take the original or rewritet drakinstaller on qt or something ? to have a possible for onlineinstall and clean updates with an normal rpm-CD/DVD .. want Rapha and bero not take mageia's install possibility away ? or what it is the reason to devil ..
This is not the first time when you rise the question and the answer remain the same - until there is no developer interested in that old installer which is as slow as Mageia's one, it will not be implemented. Nobody forbids implementation of such installer, just there is nobody ready/willing to implement it.

and this is bad, because was ever an nice thing for installing directly from the ftp/http repos/cookers
and have ever the newest rpm's and don't need updating behind the install :)

and no one interesting the speed if it is used, because today it is the net-speed, fast enough..

i has on this time .. ~2000 around, dsl-light and it was ever good enough from the speed.. now i have 10mbit, maybe in 2-3 month 25- 100 MBit Cable Badem Wuerttemberg (KableBW) in the next time.. there it is the rpm-installer grate.. and the Providers, where have serverfarms and an fad cable like me in the couple month, know an online installer also appreciate, because don't need download 4Gig for burning an DVD ever, no, only 40 mb and dd on usb-stick and you can install you computer over network, what you whant .. and which rpm's you want .. and that's the advantage.. you see :) no more big DVD's, only you want burn it as gift ..

best regards
