Felix is right about the directory tree not making sense. The updates are not in the same path as the distribution. Why? Consistency throughout would be greatly appreciated. Please consider that having the /update and /distribution and the additional repositories such as software.opensuse.org/download/KDE: in a logical, easy to follow order would make openSUSE a lot easier to use.
For example: whatever.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/xx.y whatever.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/update/xx.y whatever.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/software/KDE:/KDE3/xx.y
Or: distribution.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/xx.y update.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/xx.y software.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/KDE:/KDE3/xx.y
Would be a heck of a lot easier to remember and setup for all of us. Is this worthy of a bugzilla entry?
You're talking about something completely different than Felix here. You want the update tree to be moved from ftp.suse.com to ftp.opensuse.org. This has been discussed, and as you can see, it has not been done. I don't know why, but it does not break anything as-is, worked without even the slightest valid problems (I mean real problems, not just complaints as in "It's so hard for me to find it") since the first "open" SUSE release (10.0) and I really wonder why this should be important because users get both the update sources and the base installation sources offered during installation. Having said that, why not discuss it again (which doesn't mean that the result of the second discussion will be different from the result of the first one), but not under any circumstances will the update trees of released distribution be moved. This would cause major troubles for all users and benefit just those who don't want to follow the mirror lists in our wikis. Note that the current rationale is not "everything from the same distribution together", but "update trees together" and "release trees together". This reflects the fact that the update trees are always in flux while the release trees never change; an important difference for mirrors because some mirrors prefer to have only stable content (=the release trees) and others prefer having only the smaller things (=the update trees). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
