Today’s bad news for Mageia 4.0 and Mageia 4.1 users is that the 4.x branch of the popular GNU/Linux distribution will no longer receive security and critical patches, nor software updates, and no new packages will be added to the main software repositories, which will be closed starting September 19, 2015. The Mageia developers urge all users of the Mageia 4 operating system to upgrade their installations to the current stable version of the OS, Mageia 5, as soon as possible.
