--- Comment #2 from Neal Gompa <ngompa13 at gmail.com> ---
Starting with Mageia 6, the exact same tooling that's used for Fedora is
supported for Mageia. The DNF package manager is available and fully
supported[1], and Mock in Debian supports Mageia 6 as a build target[2], as of
Debian 9.

RPM in Mageia 6 is basically in sync with Fedora 25 (rpm 4.13.0.1 with some
backports from rpm git master). The main issue you might encounter is that
Mageia uses RPM's file triggers more aggressively than Fedora does (and rpm <
4.13 doesn't support them), but it should still work... I believe Debian has
rpm 4.13.0.1 in experimental, and that will work. However, since you're
building packages in a Mageia VM, this part isn't an issue.

You can use createrepo / createrepo_c to generate metadata just like you can
for Fedora to target Mageia with the DNF package manager. I don't expect any
issues from Debian tooling for generating metadata for Mageia in this regard...
