Feature changed by: Vincent Petry (PVince81) Feature #304429, revision 15 Title: Package cache handling in yast openSUSE-11.1: Rejected by Stanislav Visnovsky (visnov) reject date: 2008-07-11 21:45:10 reject reason: Postponing. Zypper already provides the functionality. Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Important openSUSE-11.2: Done Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ladislav Slezak (lslezak) Description: Add a possibility to edit 'keeppackages' option in *.repo files. The downloaded packages are not kept by default, but it should be configurable by user. The question is how it should be configurable. My suggestions are a check box or an extra menu item in the repositoru manager (repositories. ycp) . References: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=393709 Test Case: * check if the installed version of yast2-packager is 2.18.0 or later, with following command: $ rpm -q yast2-packager * add a new Software Repository: open YaST2 -> Software -> Software Repositories -> Add * during adding the new Software Repositories flag "Keep Downloaded Packages" * install or update a package: # zypper install <package name> * check if the package rpm file was saved in local cache (default: /var/cache/zypp/packages/) Discussion: #2: Ladislav Slezak (lslezak) (2009-01-08 13:47:14) Implemented in yast SVN trunk (will be in yast2-packager-2.18.0) There is a new check box, similar to 'Enabled' and 'Autorefresh' check boxes. (bnc#402617) #3: Eduardo Sotomayor (easgs) (2009-05-21 01:01:51) Will it work when installing a package with Yast not zypper command? #4: Rémy Marquis (spyhawk) (2009-05-23 08:36:50) (reply to #3) Yes. it is working. As specified above, there is a new checkbox in the UI for enabling cache handling. + #5: Vincent Petry (pvince81) (2009-07-11 03:20:54) + Will it also resume partially downloaded packages ? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/304429
