Once there were Patch CDs for offline Update of OpenSuSE. I was not able to find them on internet. I need the latest 64Bit rpm files for OpenSuSE 11.3 update (and later I'll try 11.4 and 12.1). Either for download via ftp (or wget) or as Patch CD/DVD. Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.3/ has the fully mirrorable update tree. (It is a bit largish though ;) Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

AFAIR that was only done for one release since we had some serious problems.

Just copy the whole update tree and burn it as media - and then you can mount the media and add it as repository This is the root URL for 11.3 http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.3/ Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger aj@{suse.com,opensuse.org} Twitter/Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn,Jennifer Guild,Felix Imendörffer,HRB16746 (AG Nürnberg) GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I tried with ftp but I get "Cannot retrieve file /update/11.3/rpm/x86_64/zypper-1.4.8-0.2.4.x86_64.rpm" and similar warnings when I try to transfer the complete directory of e.g. x86_64 I get the same error message when I try to transfer one file. Doing it with wget (wget -np -r -p -k ...) results in getting all the old stuff also: 2010-08-02 13:19 ImageMagick-6.6.1.0-4.1.1.x86_64.rpm 2011-09-09 16:25 ImageMagick-6.6.1.0-4.5.1.x86_64.rpm I'd only need ImageMagick-6.6.1.0-4.5.1.x86_64.rpm in this case. Additonally it downloads from several mirrors and distributes the files in different directories: download.opensuse.org mirror.karneval.cz and so on. Am I missing something? Is there some list file that I can use with wget? Some file with all the necessary URLs so that I can use the --input-file option of wget?

http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/suse-linux/138917-update-server-11-0-vs-11-... also did not help. The corresponding command (replacing 11.0 with 11.3) also starts downloading all the old stuff. :-( ----- Ursprüngliche Message ----- Von: Peter Maffter An: "opensuse@opensuse.org" Cc: Gesendet: 22:31 Dienstag, 20.Dezember 2011 Betreff: Re: [opensuse] Offline Update of SuSE ?

Is there a solution for this in SuSE 12.1? Some file list with the newest updates so that I can download them with wget or similar? I do not want to browse through the old updates and I do not want to have the hassle to select files.

Thanks for your answer but I am looking for a solution to get the newest updates on another machine, since the machine, that needs the updates, is offline. So my plan is to get the Updates/patches for 12.1 on machine A and transfer them to machine B with a freshly installed OpenSuSE 12.1 to perform the update from some directory there.

zypper ref; zypper -v up

will provide you with a fresh list of updates

zypper up --download-only <file1> <file2> <file3>

will download specified files and not install

zypper mr -kt

will enable keeping packages for all *remote* repo

zypper --help zypper <option> --help man zypper

Are all big helps in learning how zypper package management works

You can search for the thread, I don't know the Subject:, or email direct: "David C. Rankin" (replace <at>/@) David composed a scheme to download patches/updates to one machine and make them, composit, available to other local machines. I don't recall the particulars but I am sure that he will and will be helpful. Otherwise, retain or download-only the updates/patches and make your own repo available locally via ??_nfs or some other manner and use the local repo. I maintain a small repo locally (nfs) which I use for packages not available on the *regular* repos from repos that contain unwanted packages or packages not suited for my install. I believe that in essance this is what David is doing. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Not that I know. There is, however, a security announcement mail list where you are informed or all, or most, of the security updates, and choose from there.

Most of us simply use YOU to update the system via Internet. It simply works, it downloads what is needed only. If your machine is not connected, then I'm sorry, there is no simple solution. You have to make do with what there is available, and/or develop yourself new methods. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

fwiw . . . I use patch2mail. It delivers a daily email which lists the updates with descriptions. With kmail filters you can strip out just the package name & patch headers with grep. Might be a way to pipe that through zypper, never thought about it because I don't want to take all patches automatically. And what about the YaST automatic updater? I don't think that is installed by default any longer. The package is yast2-online-update-configuration. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks for your answer, but this is not the easy way. ;-) Any way to do this with wget and --follow-ftp Follow FTP links from HTML documents. Without this option, Wget will ignore all the FTP links. ?
