[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed rsync repo sync issue?
I asked on another board a while back, then yesterday on the OpenSUSE forums -- where I was then directed here. To repeat the only significant part of the question: Basically, I've recently (last few months, maybe?) noticed that my local Tumbleweed repo is more often than not in a broken state, as the repodata/repomod.xml file refers to files which do not exist -- which leads zypper to express its disappointment using red text. :) This appears to be a result of discrepancies between the always-working download.opensuse site - http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/ - and the often-not-working rsync.opensuse site - http://rsync.opensuse.org/opensuse/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/. The rsync site is broken right now, in fact, per the message "File './repodata/183928edbce08b88415fe1be2705f4a3cbd9484c3b465b6d86985f94ff4f871f-primary.xml.gz' not found on medium 'http://mymirrorhost/opensuse/tumbleweed/repo/oss'" Do I have to go through the process of getting access to the staging repo (I'm only mirroring[1] the tumbleweed section of the repo to begin with), should I switch to a third-party mirror, or is there someone I can help / harangue to get the public rsync server in a bit better state? I have crummy bandwidth, so I'm somewhat motivated. :) Thanks. --Danny [1] the rsync command I'm running once daily is: rsync -az --delete --delete-excluded --include 'repodata/**' --exclude 'iso/**' rsync://rsync.opensuse.org/opensuse-full-with-factory/opensuse/tumbleweed/ /srv/susemirror/opensuse/tumbleweed/

alter your /etc/zypp/repos.d/<Tumbleweed OSS> repo to contain: baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/ 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/ zypper will try each until success or failure. it may still fail but should fail less often. aiui, http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/ is redirected anyway. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Danny, please report issues with rsync.o.o to admin@o.o - the machine had to be rebuilt last year, and it's very possible it's not quite there yet. I haven't had time to look into it. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-0.1°C) member, openSUSE Heroes. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

This seems plausible; the issues started happening not terribly long after recovery from that outage in the fall, now that I think about it. Thanks; I'll do that. :) --Danny

The issue happens on a regular basis as I was affected by this a couple years ago. It gets "fixed" and then breaks again. I worked around it by choosing another mirror as my rsync source. -- Jimmy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

My naive guess would be that this is a problem of which mirror you get directed to. If the 'zypper ref' goes to one mirror and the 'zypper in' to another it can happen that one of them is already updated, where the other is not yet. I'm therefore not using rsync.opensuse.org, but picked a fixed mirror for my updates, and I hardly ever see such issues. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

download.o.o redirects to a suitable mirror, but rsync.o.o does not. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.8°C) member, openSUSE Heroes -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
