You reply to things you didn't even read?
What did I not read?
That whole post was spent doing exactly that, using rsync.opensuse.org.
Well, certainly I did not read the entire post.
The point of it all was to show how I got the answer and how it was there for anyone else to find the same way. I didn't magically know about the other hostname, or the correct module & path on that host which holds the obs repos. I started from exactly the same starting point of knowing nothing but non-working guess at a possible url, apparently based on the http path to the repo. I did already know about the basics of rsync command syntax and ssh vs native modes from "man rsync", but everything else came just from reading the screen and doing what it suggested next. Also, my longer answer actually got to the correct and working answer, whereas "use rsync.opensuse.org" still left 2 things missing. The OP was trying to use ssh, which still wouldn't have worked, more wasted time while they try that and then mail the list again when no matter what they try it doesn't work. And the OP was trying to use the path they use to the repo via http, which doesn't work because there is a different path to the same place via rsync. I covered all that, the _first_ time, which is much faster than more mail list back & forth. Sure I could have just spat out the answer like a free answer vending machine, after figuring it out myself for no other reason since I don't even happen to need that info or that repo, and sure lazy people just want answers handed to them, and they have no interest in how the answer was arrived at because they're just going to ask someone else to give them the answer again next time, and next time,... but who cares about them? -- Brian K.
