This should be it:
http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=cauldron
You can also use a specific mirror by using:
urpmi.addmedia --distrib 
url_to_your_preferred_mirror/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/$ARCH/

so for example if you'd use the ftp.mandrivauser.de mirror, it would look like 
this:

urpmi.addmedia --distrib 
ftp://ftp.mandrivauser.de/mirrors/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/$ARCH

And then i'd do an urpmi --auto-update --auto again and again,
until it finally says: "your packages are up-to-date".

But remember this may break your system, so i'd rather not do this if you use
your box for production use.
