Subversion repository error

English Applications
#1

Since a while back (a week maybe) I get an error when installing software or refreshing repos using zypper or Yast. The error is

File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Subversion/openSUSE_11.1/'

When I open the url of the repo (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Subversion/openSUSE_11.1/) I see that there is nothing below the directory download.opensuse.org/repositories/Subversion, it is empty. Why is this? Has the Subversion packages been moved to another url and if so; which url?

I have a feeling that this is in preparation for 11.2.

Thanks for the answer but I think you got it wrong.

I have installed Subversion using openSUSE build service to get a more up-to-date version of Subversion than is included in 11.1. Using one-click install from the openSUSE build service web site also adds a repository. I did this maybe six months ago. Now all of a sudden, this repository has vanished which leads to errors every time I use package management (zypper, Yast, kupdateapplet …).

To get rid of the error I can easily remove the repo in Yast or zypper (it’s gone anyway) but then I won’t get any updates to the Subversion packages.

So how do I keep my Subversion installation up-to-date now that the repository I installed it from has gone?

Hi
I think they moved things around on OBS, just search here and probably
select a devel:tools repository. You just need to edit your existing
repository an change the path entry.
