Scratch that, try this instead (havent done this myself yet):
Do the following on all the machines:
- execute> sudo smart config --set remove-packages=false (this will keep the downloaded packages in /var/lib/smart/packages)
- have all the machines point to one /var/lib/smart/packages share (NFS, SMB etc)
Now update the machines one after the other - because the next PC will see the already downloaded packages in the shared /var/lib/smart/packages dir it will not download it again. Downside is that <remove-packages=false> will keep ALL packages, so you'll will end up with multiple versions of packages after a while.
Can this work?
