Setting up an internal SUSE 9.1 update server would be of interest to me. I'm assuming I would be able to get SUSE to update it maybe once per day. Sounds very interesting. What kind of resource is needed and who do I contact? On Sun, 1 Aug 2004 12:53:54 -0700 "nhaas" wrote:

Many companies have there own updates servers. I have one at home even to save bandwidth instead of having all 3 of my suse servers doing updates to the outside I just have 1 get updates while the others go to my update server and not to the outside. Then additionally I don't want others to come to my server to get updates.... Again bandwidth issues.

So there are many update servers not a lot of them are actually official ones.

Dear All,

The folder ftp://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux/suse/i386/9.1/ has the 9.1 installation media and with the link ftp://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux/suse/ theoretically online update would be possible...

Does anyone have idea, why none of the above works? The server is not listed as official mirror, but the folder/paths/files are correct. Is something missing from it's config files, so the admins running it should do activelly something to let others use their resources? (=theoretical question, being in Europe there are plenty of working SUSE mirrors, even in Austria there is another one running...)

Thanks, Peli

*********** Hi, This little script will download the complete 9.1 update site. You must first create this directories../mnt/i386/update/9.1/ and rsync will create the rest. Now the dots after 9.1/. are required. To avoid downloading all the source dirs you may create an --exclude list. I strongly suggest that you make an exclude list. There is a lot of stuff there. I used this when I was using 9.0 with an --exclude list with success. The script stays the same only the version change. I made a quick test before posting and it worked . The first time will take .. many .. hours but next time only changed files will be downloaded. I assume that you know how to update from a local directory. Note that there is a reason the way the local dirs is created..yast will not accept it otherwise. This script is modified to be without the exclude list. rsync -auvv --stats -- delete ftp.gwdg.de::pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/update/9.1/. /mnt/i386/update/9.1/.
