I joined the mailing list, so the remote mirror admins would know to check their syncs. I am trying to get rsync access to opensuse.org. Mirrors that are broken. Kernel.org: Has not updated since Oct. Admin has not answered email. TDS.net: FTP side has blank directory, cannot get sync from. Admin answered but has not fixed. ANL.gov:Digest Errors. Admin no longer answering emails. Temple.edu:Digest Errors. Admin has not answered email. How many mirrors do, I as a user, need to test? According to the Mirror Infrastructure page, in order to be a registered mirror the site must give read only rsync access to openSUSE for scanning to update the redirector. In the forum post you will see that using aria2c to fetch RPM's, that had digest errors, the redirector pointed to temple.edu which also had errors. So it looks like your rsync scanner only looks for file names. Can the scanner be changed to look for bad files and build a list of mirrors that are either out of date or have bad copies and inform the admins. You could post the list here, openSUSE should make this list a requirement for being a registered mirror. Or send the admin an email, they gave you one when the mirror was registered. Right now a file I get from anl.gov has a bad signature but is in the meta4 file has having the correct version. 12.1/Update/x86_64 # rpm --checksig pdns-backend-postgresql-2.9.22-7.3.1.x86_64.rpm pdns-backend-postgresql-2.9.22-7.3.1.x86_64.rpm: rsa sha1 (MD5) PGP MD5 NOT OK Update/x86_64 # grep anl pdns-backend-postgresql-2.9.22-7.3.1.x86_64.rpm.meta4 <url location="us" priority="7">http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/opensuse/opensuse/update/12.1/x86_64/pdns-backend-...</url> The openSUSE mirror scanner could be used to find these files. http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mirror_infrastructure#Registering_your_mirro...

1. the problem on our side *should* be fixed. we have reports from multiple users that they dont see that problem anymore.
2. syncing even just the update tree with --checksum will not make you happy at all. I did the mistake and it will not finish in time.
3. If your own mirror (intermediate mirror) doesnt pick up the fixed packages. which should have newer timestamps, then just sync the 12.1 update tree with --checksum. That actually finishes in reasonable time.
4. In the bug you referenced, you wanted to contact the admin of the mirror, which you are using. Did you hear anything from them yet?
5. I verified stage.opensuse.org *and* rsync.opensuse.org that both have the correct repositories twice. (once just a few minutes ago)
maybe we should remove your mirror from the rotation on download.o.o until you heard back from the admin?
