Hi, The current Packman mirror management has its problems: - Most people will add Packman through http://opensuse-community.org/openSUSE_112_Community_Additional.xml. And it links to a single mirror that will need to handle a lot of request more than the others. - Others will use the .repo file (ftp://packman.links2linux.org/pub/packman/suse/11.2/Packman.repo). That once again links to a single mirror... right now to http://packman.mirrors.skynet.be/pub/packman/, that is badly outdated - Webpin has the same problem: it links to a single mirror. - The mirror list (http://packman.links2linux.de/MIRRORS.html) needs to be updated manually... and right now isn't: It also includes http://packman.mirrors.skynet.be/pub/packman/
Funny enough there seems to be some kind of redirector in the web page, just that it isn't being used in any way that ZYpp can use. Why isn't MirrorBrain or the redirector from http://packman.links2linux.org/ being used for repos? Are you working into it or it's just that you don't have any server able to handle all the request? >From outside, seeing problems with some mirrors in the last months, and things as http://lists.links2linux.de/pipermail/packman/2010-May/008390.html (that from outside one would say it still hasn't been fixed), one starts to worry about the mirror healthy of Packman. Thanks. _______________________________________________ Packman mailing list [email protected] http://lists.links2linux.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/packman
