What factory link?:
Heh, fair point: as TW is not really supposed to make USE of the update repository (it's a rolling release, updates go into the main tree, it is actually also just abstracted away on the server...
the 'real' repository is located at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Factory:/Update/standard...
On my preferred mirror (fast, close, reliable), /repositories/ does not exist.
(which you should find on some mirrors too). But expect this repository to remain empty.. whenever this is NOT empty, it means we're struggling with terrible issues on Tumbleweed and can't publish a new snapshot.
That would make it a good yardstick to determine current state, if it could be found with a browser click or three.
My point was about lack of decent HTTP access when running without X.
lynx, w3m, links... plenty of web 'browsers' in Terminal mode available.
You're apparently easier to please than I. I don't find any terminal mode web browser "decent", especially for doing things an OFM specializes in and makes easy.
I don't believe I have any problem with links that actually exist. When I goto ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/update in MC, neither tumbleweed nor factory appear along with the numbered release version directories, same as when I go to http://download.opensuse.org/update or http://download.opensuse.org/update/ in a web browser.
Yes.. see above.
I'll see if we can add this as a soft symlink there instead of a redirect on download.o.o...
