[Bug 227523] New: Suboptimal selection of installation sources in New Zealand
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227523 Summary: Suboptimal selection of installation sources in New Zealand Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mludvig@logix.net.nz QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Installing OpenSUSE 10.2 in New Zealand: the automatic installation source selection that is run during installation often selects inappropriate sources, e.g. in Japan or Indonesia. As all traffic to/from NZ goes either via Australia or via USA the proposed sources should be in AU (there are many, mirror.pacific.net.au is my favorite) or as a fallback in the US. You living in EU/US won't notice any delay when accessing a source not exactly round the corner. Unfortunately in NZ intl connectivity is generally poor and congested, where the fastest (but still fairly crappy) is to AU. It leads to 3 or 4 times faster startup of online_update & friends. Please give us those mirrors by preference ;-) BTW The super ideal solution to this problem would be having a local ftp.novell.co.nz mirror - who else than Novell should be providing this service afterall?? But I have no idea who to bug for it. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

The latter also has the advantage that there is a progres meter instead of "hanging dead" for anything between 5 minutes and 2 hours. The Australian mirrors are good. Often the USA mirrors are even faster. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227523 ------- Comment #4 from poeml@novell.com 2007-02-16 04:19 MST ------- The current plan for the new redirector is, to allow a fix association of New Zealand to Australian mirrors. Thus, the normal selection process (choosing a mirror from the continent, if a country doesn't have its own mirror), would be circumvented in such cases. Sounds as if this would do exactly what's needed here. Maybe there are other cases which need special treatment, right now I know only about the New Zealand scenario though. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
