Question about mirror size
by Ish Sookun 06 Apr '25

06 Apr '25

Dear Heroes, Is it possible to know the current size of the build service [1] repo? We are currently looking to expand the mirror in Mauritius but we’re still low on storage availability. So, most likely we will sync the Cloud [2] images for Leap 15.6, Leap Micro 6.0 and Tumbleweed. If we can have the individual size for those specific directories as well, it will be of great help. Regards, Ish Sookun [1] https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/ [2] https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Cloud:/Images:/

e-mail from forums/build sometimes seems to come across as spoofed?
by Jim Henderson 05 Apr '25

05 Apr '25

We got this report in the forums: https://forums.opensuse.org/t/e-mails-from-the-forum-system-are-marked-as-p… User has also seen dmarc fails on mails from build.o.o as well. I've checked a couple of messages I've received from the forums, and I'm not seeing the same issues here; not sure why, but it looks like something's amiss.

Community Run Auth for Community assets?
by Shawn W Dunn 03 Mar '25

03 Mar '25

Hey Heroes. This came up today, in the board meeting, and there were some questions about A) Issues with Community Auth being handled by SUSE IT, B) If it makes sense to seperate the Auth mechanisms for SUSE and openSUSE, C) if it's even feasible, given available resources/community personnel So I'm just sending this to open the discussion up a bit. I'm not an Auth guy, and don't really know the technical aspects of these questions, but I know there have been discussions about this in the past, and I've had some private discussions with a few folks about things, but I don't want to go running my mouth about things I don't actually know anything about and claim to speak for the folks that would actually be doing the work. So I guess, more than anything else, do you folks have any thoughts on any of the three points?

Thanks Rachel. Hi heroes. I created a ticket for this since some of the items aren't available and I get a "Failed to verify handle. Please try again." message. There appears to be now TXT for this, which is causing the error message to my understanding. I started a ticket for it. https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/177210 v/r Doug On Fri, Feb 14, 2025 at 12:06 AM Rachel Schrader <rachels(a)mailbox.org> wrote: > Hey, it's Rachel. > > Do you have access to the bluesky account? > https://bsky.app/profile/opensuse.bsky.social > <https://bsky.app/profile/opensuse.bsky.social> If so we should update > it to the use the opensuse.org domain.
