We started installing the system on one of our laptops, and discovered that we cannot add the community repositories because the file http://download.opensuse.org/YaST/Repos/openSUSE_103_Servers.xml seems to be only on opensuse.org and not mirrored anywhere.

We could, of course, enter all 10 or so community repositories manually by copying the info from my laptop, but that seems to be a major pain, since I cannot see a way to export my list, and it would be lots of mouse clicking and copying on both sides.

I, obviously, know about the mirror repositories, but I cannot find this file mirrored anywhere. Is it possible to get?

P.S. Would be really nice for the future if this info was included in the mirrors - how do these decisions get made?
