Maybe - in the posting you qouted above, it also says:
a quick check reveals that a local file can't be used as mirrorlist (file:/localpath/to/mirrorlist.file)
Ah. That's a nuisance. But I happen to have an apache running, so that I can use it - but not on the laptop if I'm not at home. I'll try that later.
Yes, this works: mirrorlist=http://localhost/packmanmirrorlist.file But partially. If the first line in the file fails, it does not switch over to the second, neither automatically nor manually: Telcontar:~ # cat /srv/www/htdocs/packmanmirrorlist.file http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/packman/suse/openSUSE_13.4/ http://mirror.karneval.cz/pub/linux/packman/suse/openSUSE_13.1/ Telcontar:~ # zypper --verbose ref EXT_Packman Verbosity: 1 Non-option program arguments: 'EXT_Packman' Initializing Target Specified repositories: EXT_Packman Checking whether to refresh metadata for EXT: Packman Repository Retrieving: repomd.xml ...........................................................................................................................................[error] File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium 'http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/packman/suse/openSUSE_13.4/' Abort, retry, ignore?
