This is causing problems accessing repositories for example the opensuse science repository. We are able to unblock specific sites but opensuse will randomly assign a mirror when updating or installing packages. Would like to see an option that uses domestic mirrors only or at least prefers those by default. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable a repository with non U.S. mirror such as opensuse science 2. Machine located on network which block non. U.S. sites 3. Choose a package to install for example 'spyder' 4. Attempt to install or update packages 5. Installation of packages fails when it tries to download from non-U.S. site Actual Results: Can not install package Expected Results: Expect to be able to install package Note: if the foreign mirror site was predictable and does not change each time package manager is used I would be able to work around this by requesting a network policy exception, but since they change this is not possible. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
