Opensuse 10.3 update mirror

Does anyone know if there is somewhere another mirror that I could configure in Yast? Or is the only possibility to install new software now to upgrade to Suse 11?

Or can I just configure my Would be nice if someone could help me. Thanks, David. Re: Suse There are no alternative repositories for that version because it is not supported anymore. Your idea to use the update and patch repositorie from It wont work.

Its like putting Diesel in a Benzin Car. The latest oss and packman updates are a couple of weeks old. I tried upgrading through the repos on a It's getting it's clean install tonight. Click the star and let me know why. No way. Join Date Dec Posts SuSE's bad about this, and it's bitten me more than once. Guess what, folks? Access is usually limited to 50 concurrent connections, so you might not always be able to access it.

Some of the mirrors listed here might also offer rsync services. Registered mirrors get access to stage. This server provides the updated content of download. You may want to register for access at mailto:ftpadmin suse. A few words about "staged content" up front.

Staged content is content that is not meant to be public yet -- but which we still would like to spread to mirrors already, so that at the time of the public release it is already mirrored, and thereby accessible for many people. So how can that be achieved? We set the permissions of the directory to be protected to 'rwxr-x' The directory is then served as part of the tree which is hosted on the stage rsync server.

When mirrors sync from it, they will replicate those permissions. This process of release by permission change is sometimes called "bit flip release". You should be subscribed to the mirror mailing list see bottom of this page , so we can keep you up to date with regard to ongoing release activities. We will inform you of the release schedule, and exact timing of public release -- and you can actively support us in fact.

In order to redirect clients to your mirror, we need the following:. If you provide this data in writing to mailto:ftpadmin suse. The mirror database is used by our download server to actively redirect clients to your server.

We attempt to distribute requests on a geographical basis per client IP address. The amount of redirects issued also depends on a score which we will determine together with you, in order to match your capacities.

Furthermore, we actively monitor content on mirrors, so that we redirect only to files which actually exists on them. The second best method, if rsync is not available, is via FTP, but it is much less efficient takes considerably longer and places more load on your server. But it crawls. Thus, please do consider adding an rsync module for opensuse content, which allows for much faster scanning of your server.

You may also want to add your mirror to our official mirror list for the released versions or for the development builds , but those lists are not used for the download redirector and might be phased out later. These are wiki pages, simply hit the "Edit" button at the top ;.
