Hi folks,

Hello Ish,

I checked the mirror I'm responsible for and it seems to have this issue so I'm interested in this subject as well.

I noticed that when syncing the opensuse-full-with-factory rsync modules from stage.opensuse.org, the "update" directory contains the following symlinks.

update/tumbleweed -> /srv/ftp/pub/opensuse/repositories/openSUSE:/Factory:/Update/standard

I would argue that this symlink is broken on the upstream mirror and needs to be made a relative symlink, i.e:

update/tumbleweed -> ../repositories/openSUSE:/Factory:/Update/standard

update/tumbleweed-non-oss -> tumbleweed

The path /srv/ftp/pub/opensuse/repositories/openSUSE:/Factory:/Update/standard does not exist on the system and therefore update/tumbleweed becomes unavailable in the mirror.

I checked a few mirrors and the path returns 404 although the tumbleweed directory appears under "update". See:

https://opensuse.mirror.ac.za/update/tumbleweed http://ftp.rz.uni-wuerzburg.de/linux/opensuse/update/tumbleweed-non-oss http://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/opensuse/update/tumbleweed

However, the update/tumbleweed path is fine on some mirrors, especially those managed by openSUSE Heroes.

I would guess that they store their respositories under /srv/ftp and that it is not a trick of the sync.

Can you some please advise how to do the sync correctly, so as to have a Tumbleweed mirror including update/tumbleweed?

You could possibly replace the symlink with a working one and exclude it from the sync, but I would think the "correct" fix is turning the symlink into a relative one upstream.

Cordially, Andreas Kempe
