Not to mention, that before one can recognize the problem, a lot of metadata is downloaded from the Internet and rebuilt on the machine. So it is a waste of: - bandwidth - CPU - time And for a less experienced user some extra work: forum and/or mailing posts. Even simply disabling the addition of the last three repositories would cause less confusion, one can still add a working PPC repository by hand. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Won't the repos be merged for release and these repos then work? Or is powerpc.opensuse.org the brand new home and existing repos simply will not work? How would that affect a distribution upgrade from 11.0? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It needs a special path (the /ppc/ fragment) in any case. But anyway, a redirect from download.o.o to powerpc.o.o is feasible. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Directly underneath that line are still listed the x86 repositories and not the PPC ones. So I'd say it's pretty much not fixed. All it'd take is to respin this file for PowerPC - quite what generates it and how hard it is to do that, I don't know, but I think it comes under the same category of weirdness that is the "dosutils" directory existing in the PPC repository :D -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
