Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.3 Version: RC 1 Platform: All OS/Version: SUSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp AssignedTo: zypp-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: estellnb@elstel.org QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0 Sometimes it is necessary to keep a given machine offline. Debian developers know this since long and have provided an own option to apt-get in order to use the /var/lib/dpkg/status of another machine with apt-get. Similarely we could provide an own option for zypper in order to use the rpm-database of another machine and then just invoke it with the download-only switch in order to fetch packages to be installed on another machine later on. If you want me to test oS 12.3 RCxes extensively also on newer hardware this will be an absolute requirement (see f.i. Bug 803094).
