[opensuse-marketing]List of repositories
Can I make a proposal? If there was a page on the openSUSE site, to list some of the popular repositories for openSUSE distros it would really be helpful for people. I know that the webpin has got several links to repos, but if a proper list was there, we could add repos, mirrors, etc we know of. This is because repos hosted close by are usually faster.(eg, our college GLUG server has a packman mirror, which is now under maintainence, so i'm not giving the link). Also people can set up their repository list on Yast more easily. -- Koushik Kumar Nundy B.Tech, ECE Final year Journalist, GNU/Linux Users' Group openSuse Ambassador NIT Durgapur India. http://lug.nitdgp.ac.in http://planet-india.randomink.org http://kknundy.blogspot.com http://en.opensuse.org/ http://twitter.com/kknundy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

Is the Community Repositories feature in Yast Software Repositories module not sufficient? Are we missing some important items there? -- Bryen Yunashko openSUSE Board Member openSUSE-GNOME Team Member GNOME-A11y Team Member www.bryen.com (Personal Blog) www.planet-a11y.net (Feed aggregator of the Accessibility Community) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

If there was a page on the openSUSE site, to list some of the popular repositories for openSUSE distros it would really be helpful for people. I wonder why http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories is not satisfactory for you?=) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

Note that the package management stack in openSUSE 11.2 will use the aria2c backend (search for a recent blog post by Duncan Mac-Vicar) and this one recognizes the quality of mirrors and will then only use "good" mirrors. So, after some time, it should prefer your best mirror - and therefore no need to explicitly set mirrors. It's even better with using the download structure since it will use a fallback if one mirror is not available...
