[heroes] [List migration] Nomail subscription doesn't work
by ASSI 09 Dec '20

09 Dec '20

Hi, due to the list migration I recognized that I was no longer subscribed to the support mailing list. So I subscribed (again), but none of the documented ways of getting a "nomail" subscription without an account works with the new list software. the feature itself must still be there b ecause the other lists did not suddenly start to send email (thankfully) after the migration. Can this please be corrected?

Hi all, I think the power outage last week knocked out these services. https://beans.opensuse.org/piwik/index.php <mailto:admin@opensuse.org> and https://survey.opensuse.org/ don't appear to be working. v/r Doug

[heroes] moderation over a 54k image attachment?
by Felix Miata 26 Nov '20

26 Nov '20

40k limit? Really???? How can anyone make a screenshot so small? Most I make start out as .pngs of six digit sizes. The one mine started from was a rather small 140k. Good thing I BCC'd a bunch of thread posters. -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!

The attachment should have generated a response over two hours ago, right? I don't see anything. Is something about subscription management known broken? A recent/subsequent attempt to do same generated a waiting on moderator message. Then I switched the "To" from ...(a)opensuse.org to ...(a)lists.opensuse.org and tried again. That was over half an hour ago, and still no response.

by ddemaio 18 Nov '20

Hi all, Could you please make these two emails addresses, tweet-os(a)opensuse.org and shop(a)opensuse.org, to help with continuity for the project and list me, henne and vinz(a)vinzv.de to receive these emails. They are associated with some social media accounts and our shop. The migration must have deleted these accounts as the tests don't work. v/r Doug

Hi Mark, Thanks for stepping up for election, I will be writing to you officially on the project page very soon. Unfortunately as election officials we don't (rightly so) have anything to do with opensuse.org email cloaks etc. Looks like something somewhere along the line has gone wrong. You are obviously still on the project as you successfully posted on the lists, and I can also find your profile at https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/profile/m4r3k I am copying this to and also to mstopka(a)opensuse.org to see what happens, as well as heroes(a)opensuse.org they are the guys who will be able to help sort this out. Heroes, please work with Mark to get this sorted out.

[heroes] Zypper with MirrorCache pilot project
by Andrii Nikitin 16 Nov '20

16 Nov '20

Hi all, As part of improvements to download.opensuse.org experience, currently new pilot service is available for using with zypper. https://mirrorcache.opensuse.org Its primary task is to redirect zypper requests to a mirror in client's country, similar to what MirrorBrain project does. You can try to replace in /etc/zypp/repos.d/*.repo http://download.opensuse.org with http://mirrorcache.opensuse.org or https://mirrorcache.opensuse.org Since it is still a pilot, the service comes without any guarantee or obligations. Reasons when you may want to try it: - you want to stick to https connection (mirrorcache will try to find a mirror in your country, which supports https, if available). - you are on ipv4-only or ipv6-only connection (mirrorcache will try to find a mirror which supports ipv4 or ipv6, depending on the request's connection); - in case when download.opensuse.org (d.o.o) is temporary unavailable; - redirection from d.o.o leads to a mirror, which actually doesn't have the requested file (it is rare, but can happen); - you want to try hosting own mirrorcache instance at your physical location and enjoy fast and reliable redirection. (with very modest disk space / HW requirements). Additional reasons: - you want to help with improving d.o.o experience and provide feedback; - you are interested in mirror management, for which admin's UI is available, and non-admin UI is planned (so a user can add and manage own mirror without global admin rights); https://mirrorcache.opensuse.org/app/server (login using UI menu and ask me for admin rights if you want to use it or see more advanced controls, like job details). - you need some related functionality: it is possible that it can be easily achievable with mirrorcache. Further read about differences from MirrorBrain: https://github.com/andrii-suse/MirrorCache/blob/master/doc/mb_compare.md How caching works: - caching happens on folder level, so e.g., when zypper tries to access file, unknown for mirrorcache - it will be redirected to d.o.o, then a background job will collect info about mirrors. Thereafter further requests to the same folder will be properly redirected to a mirror in the client's country, honoring http/https scheme and ipv4/ipv6 connection used: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andrii-suse/MirrorCache/master/doc/flow.s… - requests to remodata/repomd.xml is not cached, so zypper always gets the latest version of packages. If you are interested in current source code (most of architecture is stolen from OpenQA): https://github.com/andrii-suse/MirrorCache In case of questions or any feedback do not hesitate to contact me.

[heroes] Re: metrics.o.o Leap 15.2

I merged and felt that it would trigger the data to be processed, which could take some time like it says at the bottom of https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-release-tools/tree/master/metrics/acce… From what I read, it looks like the merge should work. The documentation did state that the archival log data is located on a different network from the active data and the tool must be run from a machine with access to both or in two steps. I'm not sure what this means or if the machine needs to be triggered to see the results. The other products link 15.0 and 15.2 are still being parsed. I don't think it is a hardware issue as it's just processing the data, which could take some time for the new data. So far metrics.o.o has not updated the statistics to reflect Leap 15.2. v/r Doug
