Zypper with MirrorCache pilot project
by Andrii Nikitin 05 Mar '21

05 Mar '21

(Note: this email was sent weeks ago, but it looks it didn't come trough). 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 If you are in Europe or America, the best experience is expected with these addresses: mirrorcache-eu.opensuse.org<https://mirrorcache.opensuse.org> (Europe) mirrorcache-na.opensuse.org<https://mirrorcache.opensuse.org> (North America) Since it is still a pilot, the service comes without any guarantee or obligations. Reasons to try it may have those who: - live in North America and don't want to be redirected to send cross-continent requests when possible; - want to stick to https connection (mirrorcache will try to find a mirror in the same country, which supports https); - 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); - redirection from d.o.o leads to a mirror, which actually doesn't have the requested file (it is rare, but can happen); - want to try hosting a mirrorcache instance for own location (e.g. organization, country or continent) and enjoy fast and reliable redirection. (with very modest disk space / HW requirements). Additional reasons may have those who: - want to help with improving d.o.o experience and provide feedback; - 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). - 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 are 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.

Bad digest errors from ufpr.br mirror
by S. B. 30 Dec '20

30 Dec '20

Hi there, during the past week I've been getting bad digest errors from some packages in the opensuse.c3sl.ufpr.br/tumbleweed/repo/oss/ mirror. First of all, I'm not sure why I'm hitting that mirror, as it's not geographically close to me. When I manually switch to a different repo there are no errors. This is what I'm seeing, with random different packages each time I try: =================== Retrieving: libncurses6-6.2.20201205-12.1.x86_64.rpm ...................................................................................................................................................................[done (924,2 KiB/s)] Warning: Digest verification failed for file 'libncurses6-6.2.20201205-12.1.x86_64.rpm' [/var/tmp/AP_0x929b6K/x86_64/libncurses6-6.2.20201205-12.1.x86_64.rpm] expected 9026776c34b6ce27a8aaea0b61034739e75865214c08434040d1f537f3f696cb but got ab96b4c2fde4b203770423e19473c612dabb5a11938af219356956596c71d609 Accepting packages with wrong checksums can lead to a corrupted system and in extreme cases even to a system compromise. However if you made certain that the file with checksum 'ab96..' is secure, correct and should be used within this operation, enter the first 4 characters of the checksum to unblock using this file on your own risk. Empty input will discard the file. Unblock or discard? [ab96/...? shows all options] (discard): discard Package libncurses6-6.2.20201205-12.1.x86_64 (Tumbleweed_OSS) seems to be corrupted during transfer. Do you want to retry retrieval? Abort, retry, ignore? [a/r/i] (a): a ===================

Upgraded opensusemirror.lihaso.com
by René Linder 17 Dec '20

17 Dec '20

Hi All Sorry for the instability from my mirror server the last 2 months. Mostly i had problems with full Disk... and the this night the power supply was blowing up. I did moved the mirror server now in a new case with place for now around 4300G usable SSD space. and added 4GB Memory :-) Local server farm could get around 900Mbit/s traffic from this machine. Current Uplink Peak is at 107MBit/s. Currently sync stage.opensuse.org::opensuse-full-with-factory And excluded currently: opensuse/ports opensuse/history When the current sync is done ports will also be removed from excluded list. For what is history and makes it sense to mirror it? Greetings René -- René Linder Geschäftsführer(CEO) Linder Hard- und Software Wiesenstrasse 4 Mobile +41 78 625 42 97 CH-5303 Würenlingen https://www.lihaso.ch/

[mirror] no TW update repo, and a lot more missing
by Felix Miata 07 Nov '20

07 Nov '20

download.opensuse.org is much too frequently inaccessible or timing out from my SE USA location, as it is now, as reported by zypper ref unable to locate valid repodata and timouts on repomd.xml. This recurring situation is especially true late on Fridays and through the weekends. widehat.opensuse.org/update/ and ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/update/ are both missing update/tumbleweed/. https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/new is missing a place to report this. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=openSUSE.org is missing an infrastructure component -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science.

[mirror] FYI: New IPv6 addresses for scanner|download|stage|ftp.opensuse.org 2020-06-15
by Lars Vogdt 04 Jun '20

04 Jun '20

Hi We need to move to a new IPv6 subnet (2001:67c:2178::/48) with all opensuse.org machines at: 2020-06-15 All machines switch from 2620 to 2001 at this date. At the moment, they are running in both networks and should be reachable via their old and new address. If you are using DNS, no change is needed on your side. The most important machines that might have some ACL settings on some of your firewalls are: # scanner.opensuse.org 2620:113:80c0:8::20 => 2001:67c:2178:8::20 # stage.opensuse.org 2620:113:80c0:8::10 => 2001:67c:2178:8::10 # ftp.opensuse.org 2620:113:80c0:8::13 => 2001:67c:2178:8::13 # downloadcontent.opensuse.org 2620:113:80c0:8::27 => 2001:67c:2178:8::27 Note: this does not affect ACL settings for stage.opensuse.org on our side. If your mirror has an entry which allows him to sync from stage.opensuse.org, everything is fine. You might just notice scans from the different IPv6 addresses above.
