Hi all, I have several machines on a network running openSUSE 11.4. To spare bandwidth, I have one machine that pulls in updates "first", and then saves the downloaded RPMs in a folder shared over SAMBA for other machines to access. So far so good. One machine is used (among other things) for secure data storage, so is always kept offline and unplugged from the network. I do occasionally like to update it, and/or install additional software. This is a pain, because unless everything I need is on the openSUSE dvd I have to resolve dependencies manually. Being rather paranoid I don't like the idea of just quickly plugging it into the web. I'm wondering if anyone else has a clever solution to this? I would imagine that I could get zypper on the secure machine to list all packages installed, then save that list to a plain text file, then somehow get zypper on another machine to download RPMs for update and/or resolve dependencies, based on that list; then I could transfer the RPMs to the secure machine and install. Before I brush up my Perl with this, has anyone done anything similar? Or is this already built into zypper somehow and am I missing it?
