Skipping repository 'benchmark' because of the above error.

Is it please a temporary outage ?

I do not think that we, fellow openSUSE users can know if this is temporary or not or whatever.

But when I use a browser and go to https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/benchmark. I do not see the next step that, according to your listing, should be /openSUSE_Leap_15.3/.

I only see a directory named /15.3/. And there is a repodata there

It could be the maintainer changed the name?

Was changed by maintainer. Editing the URL to /15.3/ solves the problem.

(Consistency has not been a word to describe 15.3. Here’s hoping for a more consistent 15.4)

4

Was it 15.3 or $releasever? I would go for the latter.

I assume the problem is that when you think such a change has to be done (for whatever reason), how to communicate it to your users. The result being a BAM! and let them find out. :frowning:

But of course the real idea behind my post was how to start finding out what maybe wrong/gone wrong/changed or whatever by looking at the place where the error message told you somthing is not OK.

Thank you, I’m using $releasever.

I will use same approach to solve similar problem if necessary.
