what is the best practice to provide a network of O(50) machines with updated packages?
Currently, we have a local mirror of all the repos we use, which takes up quite a bit of disk space and downloads a huge number of unneeded packages.
Is anyone using squid as a proxy with download.opensuse.org? Some forum posts suggest this clashes with the download mechanism used...
Are there other totally different approaches to this basic problem?
I am thinking about a "totally different approache" (your words) : "download only the base system from the public repo (basic tools, KDE, Gnome...) instead of all", so more or less what is found on the DVDs. Should be <5Gb instead of 60Gb last time I download the whole repo. Maybe in the meta-package there is ready lists. But I haven't tried it, just an idea. -- (o_ //\ Dsant, from Lyon, France V_/_ forum@votreservice.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
