Recent addition to Mageia page

Hello Mrmazda,

I'm writing in relation to your most recent addition to the Mageia installation page:

To first { } pair in file /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg, add line with string curl-options: -L, or add -L to existing curl-options line if not already present.

Could you please clarify on the page why (and in what cases) the addition of the curl "follow redirects" flag is needed? Thank you!

https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/devels@trinitydesktop.org/message/ZHD3J2K3FNJ7CJOQPLK6OPN4SIJTT56I/ explains the Mageia urpmi package management system prefers curl, which doesn't always play nice with Trinity's mirroring system.

Thank you! -- Mavridis Philippe (blu.256) 17:52, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
