I had a problem with packman mirrors and changed my repo to have:

I do not know that this actually does anything, but I no longer have a problem with packman mirrors. maybe worth a try...
Now THAT is interesting! It implies that the zypp library can deal with multiple sources, step and repeat.
it means I could, for example, start with UWaterloo, which is my geographically closest, and set min_speed to something that is prejudicial to poor performance there. Then, when that' rejected, try something less local, or even, finally, mirrorbrain.
IF-BUT-MAYBE ...
What do the code gurus say about the sources of the relevant code in the library?
prove or disprove it yourself. add the url's to your /etc/zypp/repo.d/some-name and try. it can only work or not. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
