[SOLVED] I don't see in what MIB is useful
Posted: 3 March 2013, 20:37
Hi guys,
I know my title sounds a little harsh. But I really don't understand what I gain from using MIB.
I run a Mandriva 2011.0 in x86_64. I know that Mandriva is not a rolling release, but what the point of not updating software like Firefox?
I'm stuck with Firefox 15 while the 19 is out.
Anyway this is not your concern. But this case lead me to search for a solution. And I came across MIB.
So I have added the repository on my computer following this http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Community/MIB/repository.
And surprise the Firefox version in the MIB repo is even older (12).
Now I am a little confuse.
So I am just asking you some help and clarification.
I really want to be able to make the best use of MIB.
Thank you.
Olivier
