[Bug 458925] New: Implment "download only" in zypper
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=458925 Summary: Implment "download only" in zypper Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp AssignedTo: zypp-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: ibz@acsat.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Beta-Customer Please, implement the "download only" possibility in zypper. It should accept a list of files as a argument, without checking for package dependencies. I would use this to download only the packages I really use and use them to maintain my own local repo. Before I did it with apt: To get the file list I need (in each pc): rpm -qa --queryformat "%{name}\n" | grep -v gpg-pubkey | sort > workstation-1.lst Then, I run nightly in my server: apt-get -dy `cat workstation-1.lst` `cat workstation-2.lst` ...

achieve with a pipe of curl
It goes like, *uh*, http://download.opensuse.org/ *uh* (_no_ pub/) *uh* distribution/11.1/ *uh* repo/ *äh* oss/ *äh* suse/i586 ... "omgwut". You see, it's much easier to say "get me that damn package from the URLs I once entered into the zypper repo.d config" rather than trying to remember that overly long URL everytime. And, if I merely used wget, I would also need to know the version number of the package, which in most cases I just don't.
But, ignoring dependencies?
Yes, because zypper cannot know which files I already downloaded. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It can, because they will be downloaded to known location (/var/cache/zypp/packages/...) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

In comment 3 you say this feature is already tracked, then I don't understand why are we closing this bug as "wontfix".
