Now does it really get any more OT than this ?
Oh, yeah. Way, way more off-topic.
Way, way, way far more off-topic than a factual discussion of the nature of electrical current, as yet the primary foundation of all the technology we use in computing.
Get an IRC client, a dog, a wife, a friend, whatever but please stop making this list useless with OT posts.
But if you want something closer to home, why does the Guru's RPM repository keep changing out from under me when I'm trying to install packages. That is, between the time when I launch YaST's Software Management module and when I select packages to install or update and the time the download is to take place, YaST detects that the repoistory has changed. Yesterday I had to go back three times just to get the new Amarok package and dependencies installed.
The repository is updated 3-4 times a day.
Files are rsynced from my staging server to ftp4.gwdg.de, the apt-rpm
metadata is generated there, and then everything is copied in a batch to
ftp.gwdg.de (and later to other mirrors such as ftp.skynet.be).
Either you've just been unlucky and hit the repository maintainance
window, or it's a bug in yast/ZMD.
cheers
