True, looking closer the python package is not from Packman, but the nvidia-settings is. I noticed Packman has version 1.2 of said package available, but the 1.1 version is missing.

As mentioned earlier, only the US site is down. The base domain, Unixheads, stuff that matters, reports that the mirror server is down, however, last updated message was from 12.05.2011.
Switching to the Austria/Germany repositories, followed by a refesh, resolves the problem. The access problem is exacerbated by the inability to “Skip Autorefresh” in YAST. It appears that DNS resolution is NOT handled by a server in Sweden, resulting in a very long “timeout” (twice) to terminate YAST and switch repositories.
What do you mean by inability to “Skip Autorefresh”? If autorefresh is disabled for some repos, YaST won’t try to access them. I have been doing security updates yesterday and today on several machines without changing the packman mirror - because autorefresh was off for this repo.
You can also use zypper to refresh a single repo. You might first list your repos with zypper lr and use either the alias or the ID number of the repo you want to refresh as the argument to zypper’s -r option. Example:
zypper refresh -r nvidia
It would be easy to make a script that would skip repos that are down and refresh all others…

Interesting…
I fail to “decipher” what it is doing, exactly. I’m thick tonight
Somehow you test each mirror with curl, then launch zypper to refresh that
“alias”. Somehow you have to set zypper on that one, too.

Correct. I define a variable which has the same name as the alias containing a list of URLS (here only packman, but you can define other ones). If a repo is down (after a timeout of 3 seconds) and a variable exists with the same name of its alias, the URL will be replaced with the first working one of the list. On the other hand, if a repo is up and a variable exists with a list of URLS, it will check if the current URL matches the first one of the list (the default mirror) and if not and the first one of the list is back online, replaces it. Finally the repo will be refreshed. That’s what I intended to do. Hopefully that’s what it does.

What I don’t see is how you change the URL for zypper :-?
I mean, zypper must think it is using packman with the same URL as always,
but in fact you change it somehow. At least, I think you do, but I didn’t
see how.
If this works, you have a good idea to propose “them”

Ah! I confused your join date with the date of the post, so I thought it
was a dead thread O:-)
