Is there a way of automatically keeping a copy of everything yast installs from online repositories?
AFAIK, no.
Perhaps an ftp proxy cache :-?

Yast downloads rpm to its cache (I found it once ) installs and then deletes the damn thing, which might have been say open office devel at 227Mb. I have downloaded the sources and maybe if someone can point me to the name of the point of deletion routine I can change that. In fact I think it might make a valuable addition to yast.
Yum already does this - it is a config option to keep rpms or delete them after installation (with yum, I mean, not Yast). It has command line options to clean up the headers, downloaded rpms or everything once they are no longer needed.
Actually, isn't Yast basically a back-end for zypper? Or am I confused about that? Maybe this is actually a function that belongs in zypper rather than Yast.

Thanks I'm getting closer bit by bit. I had a conflict with yum before I did my last new install, so I ignored it but I'll try it again but I'd rather use yast I've grown attached to it since my first 7.4 installation. I had 9.1 before 10.3 by the way. merry christmas Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
