mirrors.o.o - no indicator to tell if a mirror supports rsync?
by Per Jessen 23 Dec '22

I was looking for something else when I suddenly realised our mirrors status page does not indicate whether a mirror supports rsync. Bug, oversight ? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (14.8°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes

[oS-heroes] Comment about some mail list software that might be of interest
by Carlos E. R. 23 Dec '22

23 Dec '22

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I just read on linux-xfs(a)vger.kernel.org mail list about the creation of a new mail list, on a new server at https://lists.linux.dev. And a comment said: "using something a bit more modern than Majordomo for list management," I don't know what is that new software. The pages there mention "Sphinx 1.2.3 & Alabaster"; the former is a Python Documentation Generation, so that's not it; Alabaster is a theme for the same. There is some mention of "public-inbox" I thought that keeping track of mailing list software could be interesting to us :-) - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

Mirroring aarch64 repo
by Ish Sookun 17 Dec '22

17 Dec '22

Hi folks, I am mirroring the Leap 15.4 aarch64 ISO and repo directories. I notice that the path ports/aarch64/distribution/leap/15.4/repo/oss contains directories/files for x86_64, s390x and ppc architectures. I am trying to understand what is the difference between the files in these two paths then — distribution/leap/15.4/repo/oss ports/aarch64/distribution/leap/15.4/repo/oss ... since both of them have aarch64 and the other architectures? Regards, Ish Sookun

can't submit post to "Discourse" forum
by Felix Miata 14 Dec '22

Is the forum software installation supposedly done? Assuming yes, my first post would have been approximately as follows: Awful. There's no place to click to send a composed post!!! Infinite page length, the bane of Facebook, a monster RAM gobbler. Much too much whitespace/padding, needlessly reduced room for legible text. Crashed SeaMonkey trying to view page source, within 5 minutes of opening. Great feature of old software missing: genuine timestamps in threads page that don't require hovering with a magnifier to see date or time. Related: was no need to hover to see name of OP. URI while composing is not unique compared to simply viewing the selected forum for composing the new post. Horrible new feature: un-maxed input window extends below the screen, with a height of only ~40% of viewport height. https://paste.opensuse.org/89108535 Space wasted displaying formatted output instead of a nice ample input window, that when hidden, doesn't expand input window to window width. https://paste.opensuse.org/49642153 -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
