yes, you're right, that's really not good. I think, though, that it is a
common understanding atm that packman.inode.at is not usable at all -
just search the archives of this mailing list for packman.inode.at...

Again, ignore packman.inode.at for now! I'm really not sure who can
control the page at <http://packman.links2linux.org/mirrors>, but I
always tried the various servers myself, before I used them in the URL
for zypper!

Yeah, but what is it worth it then? Ignore it - full stop!

FWIW, I use mirror.karneval.cz since quite some time, and since it
recovered from the mirroring issue caused by the expired Multimedia key,
it is as stable and reliable as it can be!

Reading between the lines, following what's available on the various
hosts (i.e. packman.links2linux.org), one should be able to find this
out, but this might/will cause lots of load on Stefan's servers
(bandwidth wise), so I'm not sure I should disclose this here and now.
It's probably not available on the mirror servers because Leap 15.3 is
still in beta.
