Hi,
Is there a way to access today the openSUSE servers via IPv4? My ISP does not support ipv6, nor my router, and I can’t install software right now in openSUSE, because it wants to access te servers via IPv6.
If would be grat to have the download.opensuse.org ipv4 address, or any help.
Thank you, I really need to install some packages, they are required for my school project.
I have the same problem!

How to connect to the repositories? Help!
Not all people have IPv6, why did you disable IPv4 access?
I couldn’t connect via Yast, but just did an update using ‘zypper update’ and it worked ok
Simply works again now.
As you all should know, yesterday was IPv6 day and thus some hickups might happen. To identify them is what IPv6 day was for.

You guys know there was a worldwide test of ipv6 yesterday, right?
Anybody who had problems has a problem somewhere in the chain between
them and the server. My guess is it is either your machine or router or
most likely your ISP who has the problem.

No, it was zypper’s problem.
Probably it was not reasonable to enable IPv6 DNS entries even for test if it was known that zypper does not support this mode.

Details? Link, please.
Link to what? To the fact that zypper cannot connect to a server via IPv4 if that server has an IPv6 DNS name? Zypper even does not try to use IPv4 protocol dispite the fact it is working well.
Think that article "World IPv6 Day Results’ in Tech News explains the
issues…

Thanks for the details. Seems to be a different problem to those
described on the opensuse account. So the approriate link would be that
to the bug report, thanks

That is not zypper fault. Zypper asks for the IP of a certain name and is
given back an IPv6 address. There is no IPv4 address.

Zypper does support it very well. Your ISP or router does not.

Really? In that case why it did not connect via IPv4 once it determined that IPv6 is unavailable?
Your ISP or router does not.
What should it support? All other sites work well.
That is not zypper fault. Zypper asks for the IP of a certain name and is

The both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of that site were enabled that day. And zypper stubbornly tried to connect only via IPv6 enen though it was unavailable.
I really do not understand what they tested. They actually disconnected millions of users from openSUSE (and SLED!) repositories for a day and even did not notice. For instance, they disconnected all Russia and other neighboring countries. There is no IPv6 in Russia, only in St.Petersburg there are some providers that offer IPv6 but in the rest of the country IPv6 is not available even at internet exchange points not to say from poroviders.
