Where to report faulty mirror(s) ?

English Open Build Service (OBS)
1

I am using SMT to mirror a few OBS projects, but recently (meanwhile a few months) I can’t mirror some repositories because the checksums of some packages fail… I investigated it a little further and it seems I always get redirected to the same mirror:
opensuse-mirror-gce-eu.opensu.se and and seems that on that mirror a few packages are actually corrupt, but I don’t seem to find any way to force SMT to use a different mirror (as this is handled by mirrorbrain)
This specific mirror seems to be owned by SUSE themselves, and I tried reporting this problem to ftpadmin(at)suse.de but I don’t get any reaction there…

This is what I get in SMT:

…

So I assume there are also other packages (which I don’t mirror) on this mirror that are corrupt…

Does anybody know where I can report this so that the owner(s) of the mirror can re-mirror or at least check out what has gone wrong with those packages ?
and / or how I can force SMT to use a specific (other) mirror ?

As always: admin@opensuse.org

HTH :slight_smile:

Thanks for your reply! I will try reporting it there …

3 months after I have submitted this problem to admin@opensuse.org still nobody has looked into this problem and my ticket is still marked as ‘Private’ (https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/7344). I don’t see a way to remove the ‘Private’ tag so I assume an admin has to do that… and the problem is still actual.
The originally erroneous packages seem to be fixed due to updated versions which now have correct checksums… but now other packaged contain checksum errors, so it seems to me that there is some problem with the mirror syncing causing corrupt packages on the mirror…
Is there any other place where I could try reporting this problem ? I can’t believe nobody actually cares about corrupt packages on a mirror…

And does anybody know how I can force the usage of another mirror ? As mirrorbrain always redirects me straight to this faulty mirror…
I have not been able to update my local mirror for more than 3 months due to these problems hence I have been unable to update my hosts with the newest packages available in this repository and this is starting to be really annoying…

You could try the project mailing list - include the info you provided
here.
