FYI Novell Hungary http://ftp.novell.hu/pub/mirrors/ftp.opensuse.org/opensuse has been unreachable for quite a long time (perhaps more than a year now) and FSN.hu ftp.fsn.hu/pub/linux/distributions/opensuse will cease its operation on the first of May 2023. Announcement by the owner of the service: https://hup.hu/cikkek/20230425/2023_majus_elsejen_leall_az_ftp_fsn_hu Cheers, Peter

d.o.o slow downloads, curl errors
by Javier Llorente 24 Mar '23

24 Mar '23

Hello everyone! Are there any issues with download.opensuse.org? Besides being quite slow I am getting the following error (multiple times with different packages and repositories such as TW oss, hw): - Download (curl) error for 'https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/ hardware/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/x86_64/bolt-0.9.5-22.7.x86_64.rpm': Error code: Curl error 92 Error message: HTTP/2 stream 0 was not closed cleanly: PROTOCOL_ERROR (err 1) Will try again... Sometimes it gives up ("Giving up after 3 attempts."). Greetings, -- Javier Llorente

[openSUSE admin - tickets #125615] Problem with our mirror
by redmine＠opensuse.org 09 Mar '23

09 Mar '23

[openSUSE Tracker] Issue #125615 has been updated by avicenzi. Assignee set to andriinikitin Hi Ariel, My theory is that we now have many mirrors in South America, more precisely, in Brazil. The requests are sent to the closest mirror based on distance (lat/long) from IPs, so, as Brazil is the biggest country and has the most openSUSE users, requests are not leaving the country that easily. The south of Brazil is now covered by a mirror in Porto Alegre (RS) and Florianópolis (SC) before these users could go to São Paulo or even Uruguay. This leaves your mirror for most likely Uruguayan users and depending on the freshness of the data, users can still be sent somewhere else (RS, SC, or SP in Brazil due to distance) in case the files are not found in your mirror. I also noticed that many users are on Tumbleweed in SA, and your mirror is red because the data is not fresh. To solve that you should sync more frequently, maybe every 2h or even a shorter period. This is just a theory for now, but Andrii may be able to dig some metrics from our servers.

i586 port split from Factory
by Felix Miata 08 Jan '23

08 Jan '23

Dominique Leuenberger / DimStar composed on Factory on 2023-01-03 10:52 (UTC+0100): > Dear Tumbleweed users, more specifically users of the 32bit intel > architecture (i586), > Throughout the last few weeks, I have prepared the entire setup, and it > is now time to let 'i586' live its own life. > ## What does this mean for users ## > =================================== > The repositories need to be adjusted. The main repositories are no > longer > http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss and > http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/non-oss, but those two are > now moved to > https://download.opensuse.org/ports/i586/tumbleweed/repo/oss and > https://download.opensuse.org/ports/i586/tumbleweed/repo/non-oss Now that the split has occurred, my closest mirror, http://mirror.mia11.us.leaseweb.net/ no longer carries i586, because it doesn't carry opensuse/repositories or opensuse/ports. :( It still has i586 in tumbleweed, but it stopped updating with ~20230103. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

If you run a public mirror, please get in contact so we can give you access to the this rsync server. You'll find conditions for access and further information at http://en.opensuse.org/Mirror_Infrastructure Thanks! admin(a)opensuse.org @ERROR: access denied to opensuse-hotstuff-640gb from UNKNOWN (194.42.11.56) rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1656) [Receiver=3.1.2]

new stage-main-repos.o.o - action wanted
by Bernhard M. Wiedemann 21 Oct '22

21 Oct '22

Dear mirror admin, TLDR: 1. If you use 15.4 / rsync-3.2.3 with --delay-updates, beware of https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1204538 2. If you mirror only our openSUSE distribution, history, source, tumbleweed, or update directories, you can get them faster now. If you need debug, ports, or repositories: keep rsyncing from stage.o.o as before. What was the problem? stage.o.o regularly filled the available network bandwidth of 4 GBit/s and also had limited disk-IO. Thus much of the time, half of the rsync processes on stage.o.o got below 3MByte/s of updates. At that speed, getting a moderately sized 40GByte Tumbleweed snapshot out could easily take 4 hours. What is the solution? SUSE sponsored a new machine stage3 aka stage-main-repos.o.o that has fast SSDs and a 10G uplink. I have it setup with the same rsyncd config as the main stage.o.o. To use it as a mirror admin, you just need to pull from rsync://stage-main-repos.opensuse.org/ Please only use the stage-main-repos name, because the service might move to a different host next year. Note, that the "ports" and "repositories" dirs on stage-main-repos.o.o have only a small collection (150GB each) of repos that are more likely to be requested by users. Stay on stage.o.o, if you want the full thing. stage-main-repos.o.o will have below 5 minutes delay to pick up first new files and will ensure consistent repo state at all times. Besides this, I saw with 'mtr' that during some hours of the day, trans-ocean links were saturated (i.e. high jitter at New York ae0-3356.nyk10.core-backbone.com hop). If you notice such network bottleneck, you could find another regional mirror to rsync from them. Also, rsync://provo-mirror.opensuse.org/ is available as main staging point for the Americas, but with less bandwidth. Furthermore, I added a line about how the --ignore-existing rsync option can help compensate downsides of --delay-updates in https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mirror_howto It might get even better once https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1204538 is fixed. kind regards Bernhard M. Wiedemann

openSUSE Leap 15.3 repos were republished boo#1202116
by Lubos Kocman 07 Sep '22

07 Sep '22

Hello mirror-admins The recent change you might notice on openSUSE Leap 15.3 (GA) repositories is expected. We've recently republished Leap 15.3 GA repositories with the original GA content, which was previously overwritten by the latest Leap 15.3 Quarterly Update). The 15.3/iso directory was not changed and contains updated images from the latest Quarterly Update (QU) as expected. We decided not to touch GA repositories anymore as updating made of the original GA rpms that received updates not available (e.g., GA kernel boo#1202116) and broke some of the workflows that were expecting their availability. Updates will remain available as part of the /update repositories as they should be. GA reposistories will keep only GA content with the exception of/iso directory as we plan to keep refreshing isos for 15.4 via Quarterly Updates as needed. Suggested QU roadmap can be found here https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Roadmap -- Luboš Kocman (he/him) openSUSE Leap Release Manager SUSE +1 2345678910 www.suse.com

Running a containerized mirror
by Alexandre Vicenzi 10 Aug '22

10 Aug '22

Hi, I've been running a mirror [1] for over a year inside containers (with Swarm). I cleaned up everything and I'm ready to share it with everyone that is interested in it. The Dockerfiles are on GitHub [2] and the images are on DockerHub [3]. The Swarm/Compose files are also on GitHub [4], but you would need to change them to your needs (replacing the domain name at least). Feel free to test it. Report any issues that you may find preferably on GitHub. Deploying this to Kubernetes is also possible, but no examples are provided at this time. [1] http://download.opensuse.net.br/ [2] https://hub.docker.com/u/opensusebr [3] https://github.com/opensuse-brasil/mirror-images [4] https://github.com/opensuse-brasil/mirror-swarm Best, Alex
