When using zypper I get a warning that;
Warning: Repository 'Updates for openSUSE 11.4 11.4-0' appears to outdated. Consider using a different mirror or server.
I’ve already added the Evergreen repository - is there anything else I can do to get rid of this? I’m new to openSUSE (but not Linux).

Delete/disable all but the “evergreen” repos.

Ignore it. Can’t be helped. You might consider this as a warning so that
people move and activate the Evergreen repo or upgrade, thus an
accidental but also intentional feature. People that know what this is
about just ignore the warning 
You might create a bug report in bugzilla, requesting that certain files
be “touched”, to fool YOU (yast online update) component. They would
have to create a cronjob somewhere doing this about every month. They
might say “no” for the above reason.

Or ask in the Evergreen mail list - there is no forum. I think I saw a
reply similar to mine above.

OK great - thank you. It’s not so much that I find the warning deeply offensive, I just wanted to make sure this didn’t mean Evergreen wasn’t being queried.

¡NO!
Read the advice of the evergreen people about this. They know this
problem, and they advice against.

It is a side effect.
The original update repo is not changed any more, because SUSE is not
maintaining it. However, there is another update repo that is updated,
the evergreen repo.
The tools warn about the first one not changing, and this is correct.
You need both, because if you install or reinstall any package, you
first get all past official updates then, you get all the Evergreen updates.
There is at present no configuration option to disable the warning.
Maybe this will be added, if it is requested, on some other version. Or
some one can find where the warning is triggered and posts a hack to do
it ourselves.

Hi,
I am using openSUSE v12.3 but maybe this will apply to openSUSE v11.4 as well. I went to YAST – Software Repositories and enabled “Auto Refresh” on the repository that was reported as being outdated. Now command “zypper update” no longer warns about that repository being out of date and many new updates showed up as being available.
