Packman/unixheads

Well without packman, Suse becomes dysfuntional. Has anyone come up with a url for Packman that is accepting ???

What happened to Packman Repo? I haven’t been able to access it in a couple days.

losingle & sambooka, you must specify your openSUSE version. For openSUSE 11.3, use the following link:

http://packman.unixheads.com/suse/11.3/](http://packman.unixheads.com/suse/11.3/)”

Thank You,

I just did an update from the packman.unixheads.com repo. No problem with reaching it.

This link is still working for me…
http://packman.unixheads.com/

The unixheads-mirror will be taken down soon, though.

However, there are still enough mirrors left. Packman is far from being “dead”.

Simple situation.
All OpenSuSE 11.3 machines in the world (or at least a very large part) are all configured to point to one Packman Repo mirror in Belgium and that mirror has been taken down.

To fix your problem:

  1. Add the OpenSuSE Community Repo link to Packman as usual to at least obtain the correct repo mirror path.
  2. Look up an alternative Packman repo mirror elsewhere in the world, preferably geographically close to where you are.
  3. Edit the Packman Repository Source entry with your new server, remember it should not include the prefix (eg http://)
  4. Save.

Happy hunting.

This is working for 11.2

Hi

Randomness

Good to know

Is there a known replacement for Packman? It is going to be sorely missed. :frowning:

As root, at the CLI do:
zypper lr -d

Locate the line that refers to packman, then do:
zypper rr N
(where N is the line number of the packman repo in the list just printed.

Then do:

zypper ar -n packman http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_11.3 packman

(that’s all one line - watch the line wrap).
