[opensuse] Kmail not quoting and appending successive reply thingamabobs.
I had to reset my Gmail on Kmail. Now what I wanted to work right is, however now it isn't quoting at all whether I highlight or not. Also, it likes to add "Re:" to EVERY reply, not merely the first one. It is these behaviors (among others) that got me using KMail in the first place, and I'd like that behavior back to as it was. I have looked in every concievable place for the settings that govern that, but it all looks set correctly. -- Surprise due today.

Hi all, I have several machines on a network running openSUSE 11.4. To spare bandwidth, I have one machine that pulls in updates "first", and then saves the downloaded RPMs in a folder shared over SAMBA for other machines to access. So far so good. One machine is used (among other things) for secure data storage, so is always kept offline and unplugged from the network. I do occasionally like to update it, and/or install additional software. This is a pain, because unless everything I need is on the openSUSE dvd I have to resolve dependencies manually. Being rather paranoid I don't like the idea of just quickly plugging it into the web. I'm wondering if anyone else has a clever solution to this? I would imagine that I could get zypper on the secure machine to list all packages installed, then save that list to a plain text file, then somehow get zypper on another machine to download RPMs for update and/or resolve dependencies, based on that list; then I could transfer the RPMs to the secure machine and install. Before I brush up my Perl with this, has anyone done anything similar? Or is this already built into zypper somehow and am I missing it?

Take a look at "createrepo," you can create your own repo on the "master" system and export the entire directory structure via NFS/HTTP/FTP and Samba as well. Give this repo a higher priority than other repos on each of the other openSUSE system.

This could be the ideal candidate for your "master" system. Why do you keep it unplugged? You could use this system as your "local" repo for the updates and other RPMs not on the DVD.

What is your fear? Are your systems not behind a firewall?

Consider createrepo, please see above. HTH -- Arun Khan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
Haro, you're a thread hijacker! Shame on you. ;) "WTF am I?" Instead of filing a fresh mail you hit reply to an existing thread, deleted the old message content, and modified the subject. That's unfortunately not enough to start a fresh thread! "WTF is that not enough?"

Thanks for explaining Lars. Indeed I did not know this, and initially couldn't even find my own message in Thunderbird. ;) Will pay more attention in the future. H. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
Have you checked Settings/Composer/Standard Templates for any clues? On Saturday 03 Dec 2011 01:40:07 Roger Luedecke wrote:

I have looked through every concievable setting. At this point, it looks to me as I would have to delete eveery setting related to KMail since the only explanation I can come up with is the settings got corrupted. -- Wasting time is an important part of living. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
