To turn it on permanently: smart config --set remove-packages=false
Thanks for this, Pascal. As a footnote, the smart-gui should not be open when doing this, or you get: error: Configuration is in readonly mode
Sure, because when on startup, smart locks the config [1], so you cannot concurrently (i.e. with 2 different smart processes) make changes to the config (and that's a feature, not a bug ;)).
[1] /var/lib/smart/config
OK, makes sense. If I want to share the Smart downloads among several PCs, is it OK to make /var/lib/smart/packages a symlink to an NFS-mounted dir, or is there a better way (ie set up a local repository)? With the latter, presumably the rpms would ned to be "downloaded" (transferred over the LAN) to the local machine, whereas with the former, they don't. -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - KDE yn Gymraeg www.eurfa.org.uk - Geiriadur rhydd i'r Gymraeg www.rhedadur.org.uk - Rhedeg berfau Cymraeg www.cymrux.org.uk - Linux Cymraeg ar un CD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help@opensuse.org
