Does the multiple url stuff really works? I have never tested it, it has never been an official feature.
I was thinking that we may enhance it by using Url::downloads() and skip urls based on network status.
"really work". good question ... well, i'd had a repeatedly failing repo this morning, and added a second baseurl. it then worked. what i did NOT check, is whether it actually failed-over. checking with, cat OS11-update.repo [OS11-update] name=OS11-update enabled=1 autorefresh=1 baseurl=http://suse.mirrors.tds.net/pub/opensuse/update/11.1X baseurl=ftp://suse.mirrors.tds.net/pub/opensuse/update/11.1 type=rpm-md priority=30 keeppackages=0 the 1st URI should fail ... zypper clean OS11-update Specified repositories have been cleaned up. zypper -vvvvv ref OS11-update Verbosity: 5 Non-option program arguments: 'OS11-update' Initializing Target Specified repositories: OS11-update Checking whether to refresh metadata for OS11-update Retrieving: ftp://suse.mirrors.tds.net/pub/opensuse/update/11.1/repodata/repomd.xml [done] Repository 'OS11-update' is up to date. Specified repositories have been refreshed. if i s/11.1X/11.1/g, then, zypper clean OS11-update zypper -vvvvv ref OS11-update i get the same, zypper -vvvvv ref OS11-update Verbosity: 5 Non-option program arguments: 'OS11-update' Initializing Target Specified repositories: OS11-update Checking whether to refresh metadata for OS11-update Retrieving: ftp://suse.mirrors.tds.net/pub/opensuse/update/11.1/repodata/repomd.xml [done (714 B/s)] Repository 'OS11-update' is up to date. Specified repositories have been refreshed. so, it looks like the answer to your question is, "no". and i've been just lucky :-/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org
