Hi, after a factory update with quite a few 504 file not found errors,
with wireshark running to prove it was due to mirrors not having the
file, I have added my bit to
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=425035 and voted for it as
well. I have seen many complaints about leaving a system to update
overnight and waking up in the morning to an http 504 error where if
libzypp had automatically retried two or three times then the
installation/update would have completed. The above bug is only an
enhancement request so it needs your votes but I think libzypp not
automatically retrying a few times ( nobody wants to wake up to retry
loop due to another problem) should be a bug by now, all it would take
is a few extra lines of code before the "file not found" error is
reported. Things have come a long way since 11.0 alpha when I had the
problem of libzypp retrying the same mirror, now it switches to another
mirror on retry, this makes automatic retries possible without problems.
Regards
Dave P
