Hi everyone,
the attached mail just went out to our mirror admins. In case you are mirroring ftp.openSUSE.org and didn't get this email, contact me off-list.
1) just as a notice: many mirrors have a "ftp" in they name, even if they feed as http. This is misleading. think of making any alias type to http (in fact anything but "ftp"), and quote in red what you said "we only redirect http mirrors"
We are only redirector on HTTP-basis. I.e. users request a file via HTTP, so we throw them at a HTTP-Server (regardless of the hostname of the mirror.)
2) don't you think download... (source and update) should be hard coded in yast (anybody can stop them if needed, no need to delete them)
so most installs whould work out of the box :-)
We have been considering this...
3) I have regular problems with at least one mirror (lea), probably overcharged - it should be clear how to report such problem (minor, but boring)
Which mirror are you refering to? Did you get redirected to it by download.openSUSE.org? Best, Christoph -- Christoph Thiel, Tech.
