Obviously, there is a inconsistency in the meta data. How can I fix this?

file downloads are redirected to mirrors. so the mirror is still outdated.

I thought that redirect only happen if the mirror is known to be up to date?

This is what we have been told but due to the fact that the code doing that is not open, only members of the Inner Party really know.

What on earth are you talking about? The mirror handling is implemented by christoph and certainly not closed source.

Ah, it is availlable? Very good! Could you point me to the place where I can look at it?

Well, the redirector magic hasn't been released yet, but if you are so keen on enhancing it, I'll forward you my current working copy, Robert.

I can't tell you whether I want provide improvements before I have seen it. But why don't you release this code from the very beginning. It is much easier to find contributers when you start with simple code than when you wait until the code has grown to some scaring comlexity probably providing big barriers for potential new contributors. I think most projects that are started within the openSUSE projects fail in this aspect. Why do you always first start the projects behind the curtain? The "open" in openSUSE should really be emphasised a bit stronger. If you replace old proprietary infrastructure at SUSE with new proprietary infrastructure or just add new proprietary infrastructure then openSUSE will never be really open. And btw: Software can still be managed in a proprietary way, even when the license is an OSI license. You will only gain from open source software if you follow an open development model. Read my other mail on opensuse-factory from today to get some emotions about the current situation. And about sending a copy: I most likely won't work on a copy because it already happened to me that I did improvements to a copy of some piece of software and sent this back to the original author to get the answer: "I implemented almost the same in the meantime in my copy."
