Can I explicitly tell yast2 to use a certain mirror per http path? Did not find a hint for this on the net.
I use MC for nearly everything it is capable of doing. For this process MC makes it simple. Just copy a different *.repo* file to *.repo for whichever repo is misbehaving. YaST & Zypp only pay any attention to *.repo so the extra files in /etc/zypp/ function as handy repo switchers as well as local backup. Instead of trying to figure out what to copy and paste to zypper ar to add a BS repo, I just save the .repo file from a mirror to /etc/zypp/repos.d/. Disabling or enabling a particular repo is a simple matter of having or not having that particular *.repo file. This repo configuration "feature" is one of a multitude of things that makes zypp a bunch better than Yum, DNF and other package management systems I'm familiar with. # ls -lgG /etc/zypp/repos.d/ | egrep 'OSS|date' -rw-r--r-- 1 288 Nov 19 2013 NonFreeUpdate.repoD -rw-r--r-- 1 292 Nov 19 2013 NonFreeUpdate.repo-gwdg -rw-r--r-- 1 148 Nov 19 2013 Non-OSS.repo -rw-r--r-- 1 148 Nov 19 2013 Non-OSS.repoD -rw-r--r-- 1 152 Nov 19 2013 Non-OSS.repo-gwdg -rw-r--r-- 1 157 Nov 19 2013 Non-OSS.repoK -rw-r--r-- 1 147 Nov 19 2013 Non-OSS.repoW -rw-r--r-- 1 136 Nov 19 2013 OSS.repo -rw-r--r-- 1 136 Nov 19 2013 OSS.repoD -rw-r--r-- 1 140 Nov 19 2013 OSS.repo-gwdg -rw-r--r-- 1 145 Nov 19 2013 OSS.repoK -rw-r--r-- 1 135 Nov 19 2013 OSS.repoW -rw-r--r-- 1 0 Nov 19 2013 repo-update-non-oss.repo -rw-r--r-- 1 149 Nov 19 2013 UpdateNonOSS.repoD -rw-r--r-- 1 129 Nov 19 2013 Update.repoD -rw-r--r-- 1 133 Nov 19 2013 Update.repo-gwdg -rw-r--r-- 1 137 Nov 19 2013 Update.repoK -rw-r--r-- 1 128 Nov 19 2013 Update.repoW D contains download.o.o (mirrorbrain) baseurl gwdg contains gwdg.de mirror baseurl W contains widehat.o.o mirror baseurl -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
