Hi all, I am having a problem downloading the packman.inode.at/suse11.3/repodata/repomd.xml. I get an error: failed to establish connection, connection timed out. I cannot get any updates at all. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the link… had the same problem this morning…
Thanks for the link… had the same problem on openSuSE 11.2 … now is working great.
Thanks that worked, but then i had the repo oss or non-oss failure to download. Is there an updated repo for these as well? Also how do i get the updates to automatically notify me? Thanks again.
I think you better get the result of
zypper lr -d

Hey, Packman is not dead… 
Just the Belgian mirror (maybe rebelling against every SuSE hitting it?)
Choose a new Packman mirror closer to where you are from this list
Packman Repository Mirrors
Tony
Remove/disable nrs 8, 5, 3, 2 and 1, then refresh all. Should be alright after that.
For Chromium rather use the Contrib repo
I think the problem may be bigger than just changing the repo
http://se.unixheads.org/?donate
This might really be a huge drag. I might even have to change distros.
How about a step by step set of instructions for changing the reop in YAST. What I am supposed to do is clear as mud.
I fixed my own problem with help from the other thread.
I am still worried as I need the multimedia support packman provides. Without that I am dead as far as this distro goes. If packman is gone I am in trouble.
What’s the problem? Pacman isn’t dead. Just a mirror’s gone. There are plenty of other mirrors around the globe? At least, this is what my reading of this is…
Dexter1979 where is the master mirror?
The donations page did not look good.
If you read the Packman Wiki
PackMan:FAQ (en) - Links2Linux
It points to this: ftp://packman.links2linux.de/pub/packman/MIRRORS
Master Mirror, I don’t know. Pascal would.
Well I subscribed to the openSUSE mailing list and there was a bit on their today from someone being surprised any of the unixheads stuff was up as the maintainer has left. I am truly screwed without the packman repos. The short story is there in no more packman is what I understood this to mean.
To start with the Packman Unixheads mirror will be still maintained. So this is faaaar from meaning no more packman.
Well I am glad at least someone has said so as that is the repo I am pointing at now.
I understand them wanting to be vague about things but that message on the donations page would leave you to think otherwise. Perhaps that needs to be redirected to a new webpage or removed entirely.

It’s I who was surprised, and I’m now also surprised that you took that message as meaning that
packman is “no more”.
Why that idea?
Unixheads is just a mirror, based in the US. Packman is a German based project, they are not related
- except that unixheads “mirrors” packman content. No more unixheads? Then use another mirror, for
penguin sake!

I stand corrected then.
I also switched all the machines over to a German server as they are apt to remain since it is a German operation.
