Update Mirrors

From openSUSE

I am trying to make a comprehensive list of ALL opensuse update mirrors. These mirrors carry 'patches' that will update packages to provide security fixes, among other things. Please edit this page and add more mirrors as you encounter them. This list is not complete.

openSUSE 10.2

Those entries marked with (FTP) have both HTTP and FTP access.

• http://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.2/ (FTP)
• http://suse.inode.at/pub/update/10.2/ (FTP)
• http://suse.mirrors.tds.net/pub/suse/update/10.2/ (FTP)
• http://mirrors.kernel.org/suse/update/10.2 (FTP)
• http://suse.cs.utah.edu/suse/update/10.2 (FTP)
• http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/suse/suse/update/10.2/
• http://lisa.gov.pt/ftp/suse/update/10.2/
• http://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux/suse/update/10.2/
• http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/suse/update/10.2/
• http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/suse/update/10.2/ (slow?)
• http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.1/ (FTP) (Based in the UK)
• http://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.2/ (FTP) (FAST - EVEN IN CHINA)

There are several management tools for OpenSUSE (including zmd, zypper, rug, smart, and YaST). You'll have to first determine what's used on your system, a procedure which can be very confusing.

Add mirrors to smart package manager

This list can be added into 'smart package manager.' First, copy and paste the text below into a file on your computer.

http://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.2/
    http://suse.inode.at/pub/update/10.2/
    http://suse.mirrors.tds.net/pub/suse/update/10.2/
    http://mirrors.kernel.org/suse/update/10.2
    http://suse.cs.utah.edu/suse/update/10.2
    http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/suse/suse/update/10.2/
    http://lisa.gov.pt/ftp/suse/update/10.2/
    http://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux/suse/update/10.2/
    http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/suse/update/10.2/
    http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/suse/update/10.2/
    http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.1/
    http://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.2/

Next, type:

sudo smart mirror --add < filename

Where filename is the name of the file you created from above.

Note: be sure that your opensuse 10.2 update channel is the same as the first channel on the list above. The first URL above represents the 'main' URL for the smart update channel. The rest (from the first indentation onwards) represent the update 'mirrors'.
