I have spent some thoughts on this issue lately. My discovery is that the
feasibility depends on how the other package source looks wrt file naming. If
the files are named as they are on download server, it works well with
symlinking. Novell-internally, there are installation sources which are named
differently. Those can be used only if configuring a matching file:// url for
them, with copy_local=1. Symlinks would work, if osc would keep its own list of
filename-packagename associations (because otherwise it would be much too slow
to be useful). I'm still hesitant to implement something costly and complex,
because the workaround is easy: download the packages and cache them, even if
it is a waste of local space... Still, your patch is probably useful
nevertheless.
