Well, if you have a point to make then _make_ it. You should not wait until someone provides you with the answer to life, the universe, and everything.
I find your attiude and tone offensive and demeaning. Your action item item was to disuss/document the current situation and verify whether others are seeing the problem.
I think what was meant is that if you see a problem, you shouldn't wait for the discussion to happen somehow, but start it yourself. Which you now did. Thanks ;-)
On the IRC meeting it was said there was no problems with mirrors.
That's not quite true - it was clearly stated that there are problems. We're working on improving the situation for North America a little bit by possibly getting help from ftp.novell.com (this is work in progress only for now!). Christoph, Adrian, what else is happening on the mirror front right now?
Actually I started asking about the problem on Feb 7/8 and a possible
solution. Then the IRC log of the meeting was posted and I stopped the
discussion I was starting because it was not with the topic/agenda item as
per IRC. I did make note that I had talked with XMission about being a US
mirror. They provide very reliable mirros for many things in the US.
Even for other distributions. There SUSE stuff/directory "suse" is
extremely old and only for i386. I proposed them to be a mirror for SUSE,
but they would need to add a storage array as they currently lack storage
space for all of SUSE. This is off topic for this discussion but, I had
started a discussion and stopped waiting for this topic. Then I saw the
post and so...
