Hello,

a user told me that http://en.opensuse.org/Package_Repositories lists repositories for version 10.0 but access results usually "Error 404".

Interesting. Looks like 10.0 and 10.1 are gone from the mirrors I checked.

I still have systems on those two releases. :(

Me too. Large production ones where the users are all interactive login users, not web services, so they will not be upgraded or migrated without dire need. Luckily I have the retail dvd and luckily I made copies and images, so when I need to install some app I didn't install originally, I can, but what about all the updates after the dvd was cut?

What's your problem?

Both the distribution and the available updates are still there, below ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ and all its mirrors, e.g., on ftp.gwdg.de. And somebody also repaired the link at the Wiki page above.

In that case, no problem! Awsome. Thanks much. Every mirror I looked at a few months ago when I was updating my rsync script for refreshing my own copies of 10.0 - 10.3 I couldn't find a 10.0 anywhere. Yes I knew to look under "suse" instead of "opensuse", or rather I looked in both just as a matter of course. I found directories that said 10.0 but had no content or only a few oddball packages or the original iso's, not the full ftp distribution or the updates to it. ...in fact, that's still all I see. Wasn't there an ftp repository at one time that had more and newer packages that didn't appear on the downloadable iso's? And what about the updates?... ok updates I see. Maybe I just misremembered what was out there and how it was organized. ...no, that can't be the case because I had install sources in yast that were used to do the install, that were then broken some time before a few months ago, so there were at least some ftp/http repositories that existed and then went away. I guess iso + updates = full current so I guess even so there is nothing really to complain about. I'm pulling down the available dvd iso to check a few packages against the retail dvd, as I thought I saw packages at one point that were available in the ftp repo and on the 9gig dvd and not in the 4g dvd. (autolog was one) But now I have to imagine the 9gig was simply 9g because it was two versions of the 4gig dvd in one, 32 & 64 bit x86, not because it had extra packages. -- Brian K.
