openSUSE admin - tickets #138161 (Feedback): Zypper Mirror Configurationhttps://progress.opensuse.org/issues/1381612023-10-18T00:15:00Zamirhosein.nik1996@gmail.com
<p>Dear openSUSE Admins,</p>
<p>I hope this message finds you well. I am currently experiencing<br>
challenges while using Zypper to update my Tumbleweed system. I reside<br>
in Iran, and the automatically selected mirror is inaccessible from my<br>
location. Fortunately, there are several alternative mirrors available<br>
that can provide faster download speeds. However, I am uncertain about<br>
how to configure Zypper to use these mirrors effectively.</p>
<p>Additionally, the manual process of checking the mirror availability<br>
via <a href="https://mirrors.opensuse.org" class="external">https://mirrors.opensuse.org</a> before every update appears to be<br>
impractical. My goal is to have Zypper bypass the problematic mirror<br>
and automatically search for a faster, functional alternative.</p>
<p>I would greatly appreciate your guidance and assistance with this<br>
matter. I've attempted to research a solution but have not been<br>
successful in finding one thus far.</p>
<p>As a side note, I attempted uncommenting "download.use_geoip_mirror =<br>
true" in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf, but this did not resolve the issue.</p>
<p>Thank you for your time and assistance.</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br>
Amir</p>
openSUSE Leap 15.6 - action #131990 (New): Write the Feature Guidehttps://progress.opensuse.org/issues/1319902023-06-28T16:53:09Zlkocmanlubos.kocman@suse.com
<p>The Feature Guide forms the base of our release marketing. It is a large list of the most important features in openSUSE 13.1 with screenshots and a good organisation. See <a href="https://en.opensuse.org/Features" class="external">https://en.opensuse.org/Features</a></p>
<p>Find a how-to on writing them here: <a href="http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Product_highlights_writing" class="external">http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Product_highlights_writing</a></p>
<p>We've learned some lessons during the 12.3 product highlights writing, take these into account:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>do NOT try to be 'complete'. Going through ALL the changelogs of ALL packages with a script and then filtering out the interesting stuff (we did that, yes) is just way too much work.</p></li>
<li><p>Instead, focus on the most important packages, eg look at <a href="http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=suse" class="external">http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=suse</a> and pick from the packages there.</p></li>
<li><p>Kick the community to add their features to <a href="https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Major_features" class="external">https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Major_features</a> and use that as a major guide. It is the 'start' of the product highlights.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>** for 13.1, Michal send scripted mails to packagers who did 'major stuff'. This seems to have worked quite well: <a href="https://github.com/openSUSE-Team/features-reminder" class="external">https://github.com/openSUSE-Team/features-reminder</a></p>
<ul>
<li><p>Get the KDE stuff from the KDE announcement, the GNOME stuff from the GNOME announcement, the kernel stuff from kernelnewbies.org and the H kernel archives as soon as you know which versions we'll ship! Put them on the Major_features page so you're ready with that.</p></li>
<li><p>Kick the artwork team: they need to get the final art in in time so the screenshots can be made! It is a blocker, also for the press kit.</p></li>
</ul>
openSUSE Leap 15.6 - action #131981 (New): Write 'reviewers guide', the mail for the presshttps://progress.opensuse.org/issues/1319812023-06-28T16:53:08Zlkocmanlubos.kocman@suse.com
<p>We send the press a 'personalized' email. It contains some personal notes from whoever sends it (usually Jos/the CM).</p>
<p>Be sure to have it reviewed.</p>
<p>Example text below from the 12.3 release:</p>
<p>Hi XXX,</p>
<p>As the openSUSE community manager, I am pleased to provide to you the final version of openSUSE 12.3 for your evaluation in advance of its worldwide release on March 13. openSUSE 12.3 comes only six months after our previous release, which means we are back to our usual eight month cycle (12.2 was delayed by two months). Below is a link to the openSUSE 12.3 GoldMaster (final) for your testing pleasure. Also included is a feature overview and press release. The announcement is embargoed until Wednesday, March 13, 2013 at 14:00 UTC.</p>
<p>Notable in openSUSE 12.3 is the addition of OpenStack (Folsom) packages as well as the move to MariaDB as default database. MySQL is still a part of our distribution, so not much will change for the average user as both databases have been part of openSUSE for a long time already.</p>
<p>And there is of course the ARM and ARM 64bit work our ARM team has been doing. We're currently at over 4000 build packages, putting us well ahead of any other Linux distribution supporting ARM's AArch64 architecture. Preview images for installation and testing will be made available when 12.3 is released. The ARM 32bit efforts are progressing too. We plan to release a stable openSUSE 12.3 for ARMv7 shortly after the x86 and x86_64 versions to be released on Wednesday the 13th.</p>
<p>In case you wonder and have followed the controversy, we support UEFI in this release and there's Secure Boot. But, in proper openSUSE fashion, we're not 200% confident about Secure Boot, in part due to the issues with Sony laptops (we will carry the patches making the issue less likely to hit our users). A wiki page is being built on <a href="https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:UEFI">https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:UEFI</a> to keep our users informed of our ongoing efforts to solve Secure Boot.</p>
<p>There will be new SUSE Studio images for 12.3 available on release day. Upgrading existing images/appliances will also be possible on Wednesday, March 13.</p>
<p><a href="http://software.opensuse.org">http://software.opensuse.org</a> has been building openSUSE 12.3 packages for a while and much software is already available. For example, the just released plasmate 1.0 is already built for 12.3!</p>
<p>I'm quite proud of what our desktop teams have done for this release. See <a href="http://news.opensuse.org/?p=15318">http://news.opensuse.org/?p=15318</a> if you are interested in a preview. There's an awesome video introducing our default desktop, KDE, made by a volunteer (you won't believe he did that in his free time if you see it).</p>
<p>If you have any questions or would like an interview with someone from the openSUSE team, the wider community, the board or me, just let me know.</p>

openSUSE admin - tickets #110406 (In Progress): Wrong URL in UNICAMP mirrorhttps://progress.opensuse.org/issues/1104062022-04-28T12:09:21Zavicenzi
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>The UNICAMP mirror uses <a href="http://ftp.unicamp.br/pub/opensuse/updates/" class="external">http://ftp.unicamp.br/pub/opensuse/updates/</a> instead of <a href="http://ftp.unicamp.br/pub/opensuse/update/" class="external">http://ftp.unicamp.br/pub/opensuse/update/</a>.<br>
It seems that the mirror is outdated or syncing to the wrong path and probably the scanner won't notice that, and zypper won't also.</p>
<p>Can someone notice UNICAMP admins to fix it?</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Alex</p>
