11.2 repositories

[js84]

Hi,
I have an issue with the repositories predefined in 11.2 Rc1

Software upate just crashes when opening them and zypper complaints about finding repositories (timeout). Cannot click abort, only kill seems to work....

This holds for example the OSS repository
/distribution/11.2/repo/oss/

When first installing it (week ago) it worked fine... Did they change?





openSUSE 11.2 RC 1 (i586)
VERSION = 11.2

Here is the zypper reponse I get (after ctr-c)
Failed to download /content from widehat.opensuse.org
Abort, retry, ignore? [a/r/i/?] (a):

any idea

[js84]

I just tried to add the community repositories (via yast2) which also results in a neverending display
Add repository: Main Repository (OSS)
while
Add repository: Main Repository (Non-OSS) seems to have finished...

Any idea what could be done to fix this as this .....

If it was OK before this: Try again in 24 hrs, it's probably local to you.

Yes you are right. This morning it is working just fine.
Do you have any details how this might happen (I don't know too much about the repository structure...)

Thanks for your help!

Repo's are supposed to synch to a local mirror, some users find it necessary to point to a specific mirror. This is where you would look, but not for 11.2 ATM: openSUSE Download Mirrors - Overview

It can depend where you are in the world too as to how all this works.

I just performed a clean install of RC2 only to find I have no repositories.

I'm adding them now based on caf4926's first reply to this topic.
