Happening here too, obviously fallout from the infrastructure migration announced on Monday on heroes and project mailing lists. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks! Felix Miata

No, this is not related to infrastructure migration, AFAIK. This is just what it says, that the repo got no new packages since some month(s). Check the contents with a web browser to see if it is true. Mind, 15.4 is about to be "decommissioned". https://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime The following distributions are expected to receive updates until the specified date: openSUSE Leap 15.5 - is expected to be maintained until end of December 2024 openSUSE Leap 15.4 - is expected to be maintained until end of November 2023 -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

Forgot to say, have you actually done the three checks the text says? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.5 (Laicolasse))

Forgot to add (yes :) I can tell it is complaining about the metadata, the point being it should not. the main repo "ain't gonna change", "that there is the distro". But it shouldn't throw warnings while 15.4 isn't EOL (though it is getting close). Hell, OLD main repos don't throw that warning (unless it is something new) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

It is not the main repo, it is the main update repo.

It is not related to EOL, that's a different warning. It speaks of EOL explicitly. It is simply a preprogrammed warning. If the update repository doesn't get updates in a month (say), there is a chance that something is wrong, so it tells you, the human in charge, to go take a look. And it tells you three things to look at. On the other end, the humans in charge of creating updates have to publish an update at least one a month. If they forget, well, they get nagged. Nothing to panic about :-p -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.5 (Laicolasse))
i, We are just not releasing much updates into this specific repo . I will queue an update for it. Ciao, Marcus On Wed, Nov 01, 2023 at 08:04:24PM -0500, David C. Rankin wrote:
