But if you read it carefully, the list of supported OS doesn’t mention what we are all using 😀

Any word yet on GNOME 3 compatibility?

I’ve refreshed all repodata + renew all signatures.
Please try again, and just note the time you do your refresh ( I will be able to dig logs files for that time ).

I’ve try the download behind a proxy too here, and it’s seems to work.
Please report any success or failure, if you know your ip, tell me.
Sometimes the anti-bot/script-kiddy protection can blacklist an ip.

Stratos Thanks for the report.
I will regenerate signature this afternoon, just to be sure.
Don’t know if this is due to the link of the repository, or eventually some gzipped output made by the server.
I will investigate that a bit more.

Bruno i found it. Something is wrong when i’m accessing the PMS through proxy. I have a proxy in my setup (on opensuse server). Any other repository that i have works through the proxy without issues but yours seems not to going well with this setup.

It is strange because i’m refreshing all the repos (and i have a lot) through the proxy without issues but not yours. Also the i’m using your repo for some time now and i hadn’t this problem. It seems that the problem appeared only after the last repository change.

Hi Stratos, sound strange to me.
If you browse the repo with http you will see them
For example
http://linux.ioda.net/mirror/ati/openSUSE_11.4/x86_64/ show the 861 there

Can you try a zypper ref -f
and then push back here the result of
zypper se -s fglrx

I have also tried to remove the repo and add it again with no effect. Versions up to 8.850-1 are displayed only. Although when i browse the repo (with Firefox) 8.861 is there. It seems that something is wrong with the repond.xml file.

Hi Bruno. I’m refreshing the repo but i can only see version 8.850-1 not 8.861.

Thanks.
