Description

Hiyas,

Was looking to try out HPN-SSH on a Debian 12 (Bookworm) system, however clicking on the generic link here:

    https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/rapier1

... bounces to a very outdated mirror for Australia:

    https://mirrorcache-au.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/rapier1/

The packages there are dated April 2023 (1 year out of date), and don't list the version of Debian I'm using.

With a bit more digging though, it turns out the packages are actually available:

    https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/rapier1/

It looks like this mirror needs to be re-synced, or perhaps even taken out of the mirror selection rotation. (?)

Are you ok to get this looked at? 😄

Research direction

Start by comparing the generic download.opensuse.org URL with the mirrorcache-au.opensuse.org URL for home:/rapier1 and checking which Debian 12 packages are served. Done means the selected mirror is current and includes the requested Debian version, or the outdated mirror is removed from rotation.
