The Repositories For apt-get In SUSE 10.2
Monday, July 9th, 2007
Updated: November 9th, 2007
So today I was looking for a proper sources.list file that would work for apt-get in SUSE 10.2 since the one in yast and smart repositories comes with a broken list. And by broken I mean completely f***ed.
apt-get update Err ftp://mirrors.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de SuSE/10.2-i386 release Could not resolve 'mirrors.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de' Get:1 ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de SuSE/10.2-i386 release Ign ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de SuSE/10.2-i386 release Err ftp://mirrors.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de SuSE/10.2-i386/base pkglist Could not resolve 'mirrors.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de' Err ftp://mirrors.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de SuSE/10.2-i386/base release Could not resolve 'mirrors.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de' Err ftp://mirrors.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de SuSE/10.2-i386/update pkglist Could not resolve 'mirrors.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de' Get:1 ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de SuSE/10.2-i386/base pkglist Err ftp://mirrors.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de SuSE/10.2-i386/update release Could not resolve 'mirrors.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de' Err ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de SuSE/10.2-i386/base pkglist Unable to fetch file, server said 'Failed to open file.

The easiest solution is to download and install the rpms from ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home%3A/rbos/openSUSE_10.2/i586/ instead, which come with the correct sources.list as pointed to by this post. Here it is (with the additional sources uncommented):
# A very basic sources.list file. # # Fastest repository comes first, with netselect it is possible to determine # the fastest repository easily. repomd http://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/suse/i386 update/10.2 repomd http://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution 10.2/repo/oss/suse # Visit http://software.opensuse.org/download/ to determine which additional # components are available. Some examples are given below, just uncomment # the line to enable it. repomd ftp://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories home:/rbos/openSUSE_10.2 repomd ftp://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_10.2 repomd ftp://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories KDE:/Backports/openSUSE_10.2 repomd ftp://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories KDE:/Playground/openSUSE_10.2 repomd ftp://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories mozilla/openSUSE_10.2 repomd ftp://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories openSUSE:/Tools/openSUSE_10.2 repomd ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc packman/suse/10.2 # The apt format # rpm ftp://mirrors.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ @ftp_dir@ base update security rpmkeys # rpm ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ @ftp_dir@ base update security rpmkeys
Updating this list produces a much nicer result:

Now we got a working apt for SUSE 10.2.
Reason Behind Today's Downtime
Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007
Today the server went offline while I was at work for no apparent reason. Further investigation uncovered the perpetrator. Here he is, eating the power cord.

Jack Bauer Found In St Petersburg In His New Hiding (Season 07?!)
Friday, June 29th, 2007
Yesterday I got back from my trip to St Petersburg, Russia, where I drank lots of vodka (and absinthe), ate blinkchiks and borsch, and found Jack Bauer. Apparently he is now posing as one of the Russian emperors. He was last seen hanging out in Pushkin village…
Don't believe me? Will you believe the photos?

Google Maps New Feature: Visual Route Dragging
Friday, June 29th, 2007
Click this sample map and then try dragging the blue path around to create via points. You can also do the same to the start and end points. Now I feel that the Google maps are truly 21st century. Live traffic (maybe live traffic cams soon?), street view, multiple destination, dragging and zooming with the mouse… can this thing get any better?
This announcement is also currently one of the top diggs
