I went back to check this repository and it is still refusing to permit
access. Does the owner of the server know?
Obviously I switched to using a mirror a long time ago so it is not as
though it hurts me, but I don't think this behaviour is what the server
owner was looking for.
Or is geo-blocking a factor here? That would be "unusual" under the
circumstances.

That particular server had/has problems for some time. It is known. Many
servers are managed by volunteers in their spare time, so response is slow.

As I said, I use:

> baseurl=http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Leap_$releasever/
> http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_Leap_$releasever/
> http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/packman/suse/openSUSE_Leap_$releasever/

in the repository definition file and it works.

I have not read in the mail list of problems since some time, though.
Either all people have moved to a mirror, or they don't hit the problem.

Mmm... I tried
<http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_Leap_15.2/repodata/repomd.xml> on
a web browser and I get "403 - Forbidden". Even the root
<http://packman.inode.at/> gives a 403.

I have no idea what is going on. I suggest asking on the packman mail
list. Maybe I will, later.

Cheers, Carlos.
