download.opensuse.org has no binary packages

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 linux-pfor:~ # zypper sl -d # | Alias | Name | Enabled | Refresh | Priority | Type | URI --+-----------------+-----------------------+---------+---------+----------+--------+---------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | openSUSE 11.1-0 | openSUSE 11.1-0 | Yes | No | 99 | yast2 | cd:///?devices=/dev/sr0 2 | repo-debug | openSUSE-11.1-Debug | No | Yes | 100 | NONE | http://download.opensuse.org/debug/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/ 3 | repo-non-oss | openSUSE-11.1-Non-Oss | Yes | Yes | 100 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repo/non-oss/ 4 | repo-oss | openSUSE-11.1-Oss | Yes | Yes | 100 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/ 5 | repo-source | openSUSE-11.1-Source | No | Yes | 100 | NONE | http://download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/ 6 | repo-update | openSUSE-11.1-Update | Yes | Yes | 20 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.1/
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
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?
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
so there is no way to get it fixed for the released media?!
the .xml files on powerpc.opensuse.org are broken as well. Time for a vi session on the server ...
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.

why is it so hard to redo the meta data on powerpc.opensuse.org?
verified that it works for factory now *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 469307 ***
