My feature request is to kiwi be able to store those packages locally, and acting as a mirror, checking for newest package versions if given that option by user. Examples of usage (1): - Download and store packages but doesn't check for newest # kiwi --prepare /path/to/config --root /path/to/root --keep-packages - Download, store and check for newest package versions # kiwi --prepare /path/to/config --root /path/to/root --keep-packages --update-newest - Exits with "--update-newest requires --keep-packages option" # kiwi --prepare /path/to/config --root /path/to/root --update-newest Examples of usage (2): - Merging all-in-one ("no" by default, "check" checks for newest versions (so "yes" is implied here)) # kiwi --prepare /path/to/config --root /path/to/root --store-packages={no,yes,check} Additionally, a given path could be set to store the downloaded packages. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
