2026-05-14T11:02:02  <matrix-o-o> <Luca Boccassi> hi, about half of our github CI builds fail as zypper fails to connect to the mirror to download packages, are there known issues?
2026-05-14T11:02:04  <matrix-o-o> <Luca Boccassi> eg: [Error: "Failed to connect to slc-mirror.opensuse.org port 443 after 16312 ms: Could not connect to server", trying next mirror.]
2026-05-14T11:02:29  <matrix-o-o> <Luca Boccassi> followed by a few [Error: "The requested URL returned error: 404", trying next mirror.] and finally [The requested URL returned error: 404]
2026-05-14T11:03:48  <matrix-o-o> <Luca Boccassi> (this was attempting to install tumbleweed pkgs)
2026-05-14T11:04:12  <matrix-o-o> <Luca Boccassi> seems to have started in the past couple of weeks, was always stable before
2026-05-14T19:45:20  <acidsys> Hi LucaBoccassi, is this only happening with slc-mirror.o.o? and I'm a bit curious about the output, because first it's about not being able to connect, then it's about having connected but receiving 404
2026-05-14T19:52:57  <matrix-o-o> <Luca Boccassi> our config just uses https://download.opensuse.org so not sure how that gets redirected to mirrors
2026-05-14T19:56:50  <matrix-o-o> <Luca Boccassi> unfortunately I don't see the url used in the successful case, as it's not logged
2026-05-14T19:59:04  <acidsys> I see, I meant if you only notice the problems when redirected to slc-mirror.opensuse.org or also from other hosts
2026-05-14T19:59:34  <acidsys> I wonder if for CI use https://cdn.opensuse.org wouldn't be better than https://download.opensuse.org, as it has better availability
2026-05-14T19:59:41  <matrix-o-o> <Luca Boccassi> yeah that's the one that I see when it fails
2026-05-14T19:59:53  <matrix-o-o> <Luca Boccassi> I'll go look through the history to see if there are others, but don't remember seen any
2026-05-14T20:00:02  <matrix-o-o> <Luca Boccassi> this is github actions, so runs in azure
2026-05-14T20:00:12  <matrix-o-o> <Luca Boccassi> would cdn.o.o be better for that too?
2026-05-14T20:00:42  <matrix-o-o> <Luca Boccassi> I can certainly try it out and see how it goes, thanks for the tip
2026-05-14T20:01:00  <acidsys> I see, in the past, users reported problems with slc-mirror because we had blocked some cloud networks. however, this was already exempted some time ago. will need to investigate why it doesn't respond for you sometimes.
2026-05-14T20:01:20  <acidsys> hmm yes I think so
2026-05-14T20:01:34  <acidsys> if it's easy for you to switch, it might be worth trying
2026-05-14T20:01:39  <matrix-o-o> <Luca Boccassi> if using cdn is better for your servers/bandwidth I can certainly switch the systemd CI to it
2026-05-14T20:07:08  <acidsys> true; it's still using download.opensuse.org as a backend (and redirecting to different mirrors) but from my understanding some files get cached
2026-05-14T23:17:13  <matrix-o-o> <Luca Boccassi> nope cdn.o.o also randomly fails, eg: "Preloading: procps-4.0.6-1.2.x86_64.rpm [Error: "The requested URL returned error: 404", trying next mirror.]"
