I am always fighting with mirrors. I supect it is because I am in Sweden and I get sent to bad local mirrors.
As an example, I want to add the package dbview to Leap 42.3
It seems I am getting sent to:
http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.3/repo/oss/su...
Which at this very moment is empty (at least as I see it...). This is not the only such mirror. So when I am, say, trying to build OS images with KIWI, it takes weeks to get needed files as I keep getting sent to odd mirrors.
Can I blacklist problematic mirrors?
you might try instead editing the particular repo such as: baseurl=http://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/linux/opensuse/tumbleweed/repo/oss/ http://distro.ibiblio.org/opensuse/tumbleweed/repo/oss/ http://suse.mobile-central.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/ http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/opensuse/tumbleweed/repo/non-oss/ http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/tumbleweed/repo/oss/
This works when running zypper in a regular environment where one can edit files. It does not work, afaik, when kiwi is managing it's own repo information for the images it is building. And that is my big stumbling block. If zypper had some ability to store (not just read) multiple URLs, then I would imagine the kiwi author could add support. A way to blacklist URLs via the zypper command line could also be interesting. Or even a way to report bad mirrors to MirrorBrain so it does not use them.
