Feature added by: Matthew Collinsworth (Avanesov79) Feature #310266, revision 1 Title: APT-Cacher for Opensuse RPM's Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Matthew Collinsworth (avanesov79) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Example setup: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Apt-Cacher-Server Apt-Cacher creates a local repo on demand so it is not nesasary to download the entire repo at once. Clients using it do not need to modify thier repo addresses. The concept works as follows: A server with enough storage is setup with APT-Cacher running on it. The client PC's have a single file added to them telling them to use the APT-Cacher server as a proxy for all repo downloads. When a request is made the server checks to see if it has an up-to-date version of the package requested. If it does it feeds it along, if it doesnt it downloads it and sends it to the requesting client. It keeps the downloaded package in case another client needs it. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Apt-Cacher makes it very easy to establish a local repo on demand without needing to download the entire repo-cache at once. It also requires minimum configuration on the client PC and no reconfiguration of the clients repo sources. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310266
