[trinity-devel] bad repo configuration instructions for 32 bit openSUSE

Most times in recent months when I've needed to access TDE repos for openSUSE, the package manager has claimed the server is inaccessible, so I scrapped the idea of either installing or upgrading TDE at those times. Today: # zypper ref ... Retrieving repository 'Packman' metadata .....................................................................................[done] Building repository 'Packman' cache ..........................................................................................[done] File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium 'http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/opensuse13.2/trinity-r14/RPMS/i386' Abort, retry, ignore? [a/r/i/? shows all options] (a): This was the content of my last configured TDE.repo file on 13.2 host gx780 running r14.0.0 (likely non-working when previously tried): [TDE] enabled=1 autorefresh=1 baseurl=http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/open… type=yum It was initially created by following the instructions on https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/OpenSUSEInstall. Changing types today to i586 and rpm-md got it working. That page's instructions include uname -i, which results in the non-functional string i386 in the baseurl. I know it's a wiki, but what to change the instructions to say instead I don't know. This is the content of my currently working TDE.repo and TDEnoarch files: **** [TDE] autorefresh=1 baseurl=http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/open… enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 keeppackages=0 name=TDE type=rpm-md **** [TDEnoarch] autorefresh=1 baseurl=http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/open… enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 keeppackages=0 name=TDEnoarch type=rpm-md **** Configuring repos in openSUSE can be as simple as copying those files into or out of /etc/zypp/repos.d/, or changing names of files there, or editing their content with plain text editor, all of which I prefer to zypper ar/rr or managing via YaST2. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
