  Title: zypper: list download URLs
   
  openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed
  Priority
      Requester: Important
   
  Requested by: Theo Wollenleben (theowoll)
   
Description:
  There should be an option for the zypper install (--dry-run), (list-)
  update, (list-)patch,.... commands, which makes zypper only list the
  download URLs instead of downloading and installing the packages. This
  would be very useful on machine with no (or slow) connection to the
  Internet. If the download URLs are known, the packages can be
  downloaded on another computer and transferred on a removable media to
  the offline computer (and imported into the directory
  /var/cache/zypp/packages, from where they can be installed with Zypper
  or Yast).

+ Zypper already has --download-only option. Seems like this could be
+ even more handy for your case. Doing
+ $ zypper --pkg-cache-dir /home/my/rpms install/up/dup/patch --download-
+ only
+ would fill your /home/my/rpms with the newly downloaded packages. --pkg-
+ cache-dir will tell zypper to use an alternative directory for caching
+ packages.
