just checking, anything wrong with the 11.1 -x86-64 suse repos? some have been unavailable for more than a day., at least for me...

ok, a bit of a follow up: here is an interesting error message from my yast on line update request:

- File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE%3a/Community/openSUSE_11.1'

this means ...what?

It means that repmond.xml is not at that address.

Ya think? Actually it's bogus. Happens to me allatime. Then I go look in a web browser, and it's always right there. Then I retry whatever zypper command triggered it, and it works like it should have the first time. Seems like must be zypper's fetch call to aria2, wget, curl or whatever's retry function is not working like it should. ISTR 11.1 was worse about this than 11.2+.

You're blowing smoke, Felix. If you had bothered to try the url you would see that there is nothing below ../Community/ -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Lubos posted to this same list on the 24th stating that KDE:Community and KDE:KDE4:Community have been removed. All the packages that haven't been moved elsewhere are now in home:llunak:attic (paraphrasing his original post)

I assume elsewhere means the packages have been moved into the main KDE repos?

This is *not* a kde4 repo. It is a kde3 repo, for 11.1, x86-64. and i believe that 11.1 is still supported. so the first question is: where was the repo moved? the second q: why? are the kde4ers so insecure that they started hiding around the kde3 repos? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Sigh. You know.. this whole KDE3 vs KDE4 thing is getting SO OLD. What is wrong with you people?

Look at what I typed... "KDE:/Community and KDE4:/Community".... the original email in this thread pointed at the KDE:/Community repo missing.... Nothing in what I said stated it was only for KDE4. Nothing in what I said had ANYTHING to do with the KDE3 vs KDE4 stupidity. I included the KDE4:/Community to be complete for all users reading this thread. Instead of reading what was written *you* decided to try and turn it into yet another flame fest.

This is last reply I'll be giving on this thread because I have ZERO patience for this KDE3 vs KDE4 stupidity that you and others are so intent on furthering.

sigh.... some folks are really overworked over the 3/4 issue.... an obvious attempt at a geekish joke ends up with an apology. ok, you got it.... d:) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

'd': assuming you have KDE:KDE3 repos already, just remove KDE:Community since it is no longer needed.

As explained here its packages were to be moved into KDE:KDE3 to make way for a hyperspace bypass: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kde/2010-08/msg00014.html

Many of the KDE:Community packages have now been merged with KDE:KDE3, which is now community-maintained (Roll up! Roll up! Who dares to prove their strength and prowess maintaining KDE 3 packages?).

The projects and related repos were removed on Tuesday: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kde/2010-08/msg00207.html

Which leaves 197 packages lingering in the attic: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home:llunak:attic Many of these have been merged into other packages or projects since they were added to KDE*:Community projects, so it's not a big loss, but if you miss one of these and can't find it elsewhere, why not maintain it for us in KDE:Extra or KDE:KDE3?
