Description Olaf Hering 2008-12-19 12:50:06 UTC 
A fresh install of 11.1 has download repos pointing to http://download.opensuse.org/

Now that this server is intel only (except for update), all repos must automatically point to powerpc.opensuse.org

Comment 1 Stephan Kulow 2009-01-19 10:33:44 UTC 
it was supposed to work, so I'll check with low prio. I guess I just filter out all download.o.o repos on ppc
Comment 2 Olaf Hering 2009-01-19 15:30:33 UTC 
right now all autoconfigured repositories point still to download.opensuse.org

Where does that info come from, how does yast know what to auto-add as repo?
Comment 3 Stephan Kulow 2009-01-21 13:45:20 UTC 
it's in the control.xml

I tried this:

%ifarch ppc
sed -i -e "s,http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/,http://powerpc.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/" $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/CD1/control.xml
sed -i -e "s,http://download.opensuse.org/debug/,http://powerpc.opensuse.org/debug/," $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/CD1/control.xml
sed -i -e "s,http://download.opensuse.org/source/,http://powerpc.opensuse.org/source/," $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/CD1/control.xml
%endif

Unfortunately the package is noarch, so it was pure luck this didn't break everything
Comment 4 Olaf Hering 2009-01-21 17:05:59 UTC 
so there is no way to get it fixed for the released media?!
Comment 5 Olaf Hering 2009-01-22 09:25:59 UTC 
the .xml files on powerpc.opensuse.org are broken as well.
Time for a vi session on the server ...
Comment 6 Stephan Kulow 2009-01-22 09:29:36 UTC 
good luck in editing the gpg signature. Much easier to zypper mr - technically you could provide a ppc package with an update script that does it automatically. But I don't think it's worthy, the repos are fixed easily. Especially if you managed to do a network install from powerpc - because the ppc network media have different repos defined too.

Unfortunately the bug is still not fixed for 11.2, my sed doesn't seem to work.

Comment 8 Olaf Hering 2009-01-22 09:37:18 UTC 
why is it so hard to redo the meta data on powerpc.opensuse.org?
Comment 9 Stephan Kulow 2009-01-26 16:26:07 UTC 
verified that it works for factory now
