This can be confusing and annoying for the user. zypper should set a timeout if a repository not available otherwise something like the following happens: linux-xvs9:~ # ping packman.mirrors.skynet.be PING mirror004.isp.belgacom.be (195.238.1.7) 56(84) bytes of data. ^C --- mirror004.isp.belgacom.be ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 999ms linux-xvs9:~ # time zypper up Loading repository data...
