I remember it from 9.something. It was gone by 10.something. If zypper
can keep packages, it doesn't say how to tell it to. Even if zypper
can keep packages it is still a chore to sort out which packages are
common with the other box, copy them there, run the updates, update
the installed db, then run yast again to fetch the remaining updates
and hopefully not download the common packages again. I've attempted
to do something like this before and yast never failed to download and
install already installed packages. IIRC, the reason seemed to be that
the repo db was not updated or did not agree with the installed db.

What I had in mind, I think, is a proxy to get the repo db and package
updates and redistribute them to each box by either pretending to be a
repo or by pushing the updates onto each box or something. Whatever
way is simpler, easier, elegant, less time consuming, etc. The boxes
are not identical and perhaps about 90% of the packages are the same.
