The mirrors are still out there. I don't understand why we need to break people's package managers after a certain time.
Sure its EOL, sure it's not suggested to use, etc, etc. But why do we need to break people's package managers?
it doesn't *break* the package managers. Disable the inaccessable repos.
The package managers are already broken. The packagekit applet is complaining here about every 15 minutes that it could not connect to a software source.
I had to do:
mv /usr/sbin/packagekitd /usr/sbin/packagekitd.noquiero
to stop that nonsense.
Look how many repos fail for me:
Telcontar:~ # zypper refresh Repository 'NVIDIA Repository' is up to date. Download (curl) error for 'http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/11.2/repodata/repomd.xml': Error code: User abort Error message: connect() timed out! Error retrieving metadata for 'OBS: KDE: KDE3': File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE%3a/KDE3/openSUSE_11.2/'
Skipping repository 'OBS: KDE: KDE3' because of the above error.
to fix: zypper rr "OBS: KDE: KDE3" or: zypper mr -d "OBS: KDE: KDE3" the inactive repos are not being maintained, why not remove them? -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
