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) .

  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/)

  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.

  #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 ?
   
+ #6: Eduardo Sotomayor (easgs) (2009-07-27 17:49:19) 
+ With the zypper command is possible to only download the requiered rpm
+ files with all dependencies without affecting the system, this is
+ usefull to make a distributable CD so you can install the programs even
+ without an internet connection in another computer, in this way, you
+ can get all the files without affecting the source PC, it would be good
+ to add another check box "Download only" to acomplish that via Yast.
+ So you will have two options
+ "Keep Downloaded Packages"
+ "Download only"
