It seems the Virtualization:/Cloud:/EC2/openSUSE_12.2 repository has disappeared. When trying to do an update from an EC2 instance I get an error message saying 'File ‘/repodata/repomd.xml’ not found…" . Is this temporary or permanent?

please give the full, exact address you are using when posting a
question like this.
because, just now i try
http://download.opensuse.org/Virtualization:/Cloud:/EC2/openSUSE_12.2
and get “Object not found!”
but, i have no way of knowing if that is the exact address you used,
or not.
however, when i try
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Cloud:/EC2/openSUSE_12.2/
i find it works, and i can click to and read repomd.xml at
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Cloud:/EC2/openSUSE_12.2/repodata/repomd.xml
so, it seems you either found a temporary outage, or somehow got the
wrong web address…
Yes:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/Cloud:/EC2/openSUSE_12.2
was the URL I am having problems with.
It was preloaded in the OpenSUSE EC2 AMI and was working until recently.
So am I to understand that:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Cloud:/EC2/openSUSE_12.2/
is the new repository?
Seems sort of strange to switch it out. How are you supposed to know about these changes?

hmmmm…i do not know what “the OpenSUSE EC2 AMI” is, or where you got
it, or how old it is…so i can’t tell you who changed it or why they
did without updating “the OpenSUSE EC2 AMI”…
ah…i now gather that “EC2 AMI” is an Amazon product built on top of
openSUSE…so, maybe someone in Amazon . . . ??

no idea! i searched our wiki like this:
https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aen.opensuse.org+cloud
and the first hit there was: http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Cloud
where i found "You can get repos/rpms from
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Cloud:/
and, when i went there i saw a link to EC2, and then to openSUSE 12.2
and on like that until i found the full URL i gave…
if that is where you are supposed to get what you need or not, i don’t
know…and, fact is i have no idea where the Cloud gurus hang out, but
i’d try the opensuse@opensuse.org mail list here:
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Communication_channels#Mailing_lists

sorry, i am out of my depth and out of answers…and WORSE is i have
little idea where The Real Answer Man might be . . . if i slowed you
down by trying to help, please forgive–about 99.99% of the folks here
are volunteer users trying to help other users…maybe you get more from
the mail list…

It came from SuSEStudio:
Amazon Machine Image (AMI) 12.2 32bit – SUSE Gallery
Going back there I found that the repo is listed as an unofficial source. I left a comment to see if I could get an answer.
Thanks for the help.
Now if someone could just tell me how to quote previous text I would be happy.

“Reply with quote” button (which is the only reply button you should see
on the web interface) should quote the parent message automatically.

Just insert the appropriate quote tags to break the quote up.

Just a thought…
I don’t know how openSUSE pushes changes to its repo data (specificially URI), but it would seem to me that standard tools like “zypper up” and maybe an automatic config in Apper ought to be candidates.
Otherwise,
As described in this thread it’s always possible to doublecheck URI and make manual corrections.
