hi there, i just recently discovered that some older 10.2 box is completely out of sync as the updates/patches repository it got subscribed to during install time back then is only having patches from year 2007. this is total madness. somebody gotta keep this list clean and only distributing reliable and current mirrors. example is: <http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse/update/10.2/repodata/> (current) <http://ftp.tu-ilmenau.de/Mirrors/ftp.suse.com/update/10.2/repodata/> (way outdated) i even re-ran the yast online-update configuration and the novell initscript or whatever it was called (/usr/bin/suse_register ?) re-subscribed me to this lagging mirror several times over again :( argh. :( p.s. i somewhere read about zypper updates also coming to older suse systems. is there a way to profit from newer zypper updates on these older suse/opensuse systems that maybe newer zypper builds feature a better and more intelligent handling of repositories and being in-/outof-sync with the main suse sources. there has to be some sane way of getting rid of unreliable downloadlocations. thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
