openSUSE admin

I opened bug #1124871 to report that rsync.opensuse.org is broken for repo
purposes. Several repositories contain repodata.xml files that refer to
missing files. For example, if you compare

http://rsync.opensuse.org/opensuse/update/leap/15.0/oss/repodata/
vs
http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.0/oss/repodata/

you'll notice that several required files are missing. It's not just an issue
of old files but that repodata.xml refers to missing files. At the time I
write this e-mail,
http://rsync.opensuse.org/opensuse/update/leap/15.0/oss/repodata/repomd.xml
refers to

58a8b18ec6fe4d0337d9fd5d629da2973f4b7bed7d0bf88772cc02c185b73c47-
primary.xml.gz
aa3369c3d47d4e22ab2d43ed710cb5fb4c51aeb4d8266648307a3cb7896bc059-
filelists.xml.gz
5008f19c8286b1a945715d3fe70a3a590a6d4fda07482688550a0ac2370ef17a-other.xml.gz
19a8ac12f9fd3065a2d8fdf6c54ebdf3120dbb70ecf07511a793f6eb622a37b-
deltainfo.xml.gz
and other files of which they are all missing.

If you are using rsync with --delete-before to copy from stage to widehat
please change it to --delete-after

This has been a problem for several weeks now and impacts all mirrors which
use rsync.opensuse.org to mirror leap 15 content.
