feat: add Mageia support

[lengau]

Summary

Mageia is a community-driven, independent Linux distribution that is a fork of Mandriva Linux (formerly Mandrake Linux). It is governed by a non-profit organisation (Mageia.Org) and targets desktop and server use. Mageia follows a versioned release model with each major version receiving approximately 18-24 months of support before a new version is required.

Lifecycle Data Source

Mageia publishes a support policy page and maintains release notes on their wiki. Each major release receives security and bug-fix updates for its defined support period. The Mageia community generally supports two releases simultaneously for a brief overlap period.

Official sources:

• https://www.mageia.org/en/support/ — official Mageia support page with version lifecycle information
• https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_Release_Notes — wiki index of release notes for each version
• https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Support_policy — Mageia support policy documentation
• https://www.mageia.org/en/downloads/ — current releases available for download
• https://endoflife.date/mageia — aggregated lifecycle data page

Machine-readable data:

The endoflife.date API provides structured lifecycle data:

• API endpoint: https://endoflife.date/api/mageia.json
• Sample data (as of 2026-04-21):
  • Mageia 9: released 2023-08-27, EOL 2025-03-31
  • Mageia 8: released 2021-02-26, EOL 2023-11-30
  • Mageia 7: released 2019-07-01, EOL 2021-06-30
  • Mageia 6: released 2017-07-16, EOL 2019-09-30

Notes

• Mageia uses a simple integer versioning scheme (Mageia 9, Mageia 10, etc.) with no LTS or service pack concept.
• Support windows are approximately 18-24 months, meaning only one or two versions are supported at any given time.
• Mageia 9 reached EOL in March 2025; Mageia 10 is the current release (expected early 2026).
• The project's release cadence has slowed in recent years, with some versions taking longer than expected; the community wiki is the most reliable source for up-to-date lifecycle dates.
