Hi Sven, hi all, (SuSE-Security is an English list!) Sven Hansen wrote (in German):
Hello everyone,
what's actually the difference between ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/i386/update/7.0/ and ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.0/ ? The content is significantly different.
Well the US site (ftp.suse.com) is the main distribution site for the packages, but since there exists -- still -- some re-export restrictions in the US, SuSE puts encryption packages on their German FTP server (and pays the higher ISP charges which we unfortunally have in Germany). Try ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ if you want to have both directories on one server. (This server is very up-to-date (at least for SuSE files) and is fast (well sometimes the bandwidth between it (DFN) and the outside world is slow). And SuSE mustn't pay the connection fees.) Tobias PS: I think it is not necessary to post to two list at the same time. Especially to a German and to an English list. Moreover this is not really a security question. -- This above all: To thine own self be true / And it must follow as the night the day / Thou canst not then be false to any man.
