Description Peter Stark 2023-08-27 19:45:40 UTC
According to https://www.suse.com/c/announcing-suse-linux-enterprise-15-sp5-one-linux-limitless-innovation
15.5 (SLE tough) is available, among others, for aarch64.

Accprding to https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:15.5
Leap 15.5 is "available" (without any restriction on the architecture).

Trying to "dup" on a Raspberry Pi 4B failes as the repository https://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/distribution/leap/
doesn't have 15.5

Did I misread any of the announcement, or is this 15.5 repository just moved, or missing?

Longstory short repository url for non-x86_64 arches has changed and unified with x86_64 (no longer in /ports)

Sure, I see and it makes sense to do so. However, people like me don't always search for documentation somewhere else on why a certain pattern has been broken. In this case I just expected it to be late. 
If you've made a README.txt in https://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/distribution/leap/ saying that from now on the 15.5+ are found at the new location, I would have noticed it earlier - no bug report needed.

Guess, in a weaker form, Linus's "never break userland" statement applies not just to kernel functions. ;-)
