facilitate discovery of failing mirror URL when zypper (d)up is timing out on download.opensuse.org
Last modified: 2020-08-19 12:01:48 UTC
Not infrequently in recent months, as numerous mailing list and forum threads about updates failing confirm, various package downloads repeatedly timeout, particularly when repos are configured to download.opensuse.org. Zypper only announces the failing package name, not where mirrorbrain has redirected the fetch. It would facilitate reporting mirror trouble and maximizing mirror reliability if zypper would announce the URL of the failing source instead of forcing the admin to search voluminous logs to confirm a specific mirror is at fault.
