is *NOT* rsync-able. I need a repo that can be rsync'd from.
Thanks, Toni
For that, you can use
rsync://rsync.opensuse.org/opensuse-full/opensuse/distribution/11.1-RC1/r epo/
or a public mirror that offers rsync service.
Be aware that rsync.opensuse.org may be quite loaded and is traffic shaped during the day, and has a limit on the number of rsync connections. So another public mirror may be preferrable. YMMV. So be considerate on don't stress the server more than necessary. There are also quite some mirrors depending on it.
But out of interest, what makes the rsyncable repo a requirement to you?
I do a lot of work with clusters of machines that are headless and cdrom-less. Most of these boxes are on private networks, so the network installs go more quickly when done from a local repository. I also usually need items that are not included in the DVDs, so it is just easier to pull everything down and then I have all that I need. Another reason I like to use a local repository has more to do with Factory than RC releases. I often encounter installation bugs during the early phases of a release that I need to reproduce for bugzilla. Since Factory moves quickly, using a local repository gives me time to redo installs without Factory changing underneath of me. Thanks, Toni
