The main problem is the additional space that is needed not only on the main mirror server but also on all (>185 at the moment) other mirror servers in the world. The /update/ path on download.opensuse.org use currently 246 GB - fulfilling your request, I would expect that this doubles at least to ~500GB alone for the update path. While someone might argue that this could easily be fixed by "adding just another USB-Disk", the infrastructure of download.o.o is a bit more complex (and expensive). If someone else than me could bring this up to the openSUSE board and ask for some guidelines here, we might get some extra money for this for download.opensuse.org in the near future. But this will not fix the possible problem of our mirrors, that need to get extra space for hosting openSUSE updates (which luckily most of our mirrors do). Suggestion: 0) You add keeppackages=1 to the update repo file in your machine (/etc/zypp/repos.d/*.repo) - that will keep the packages on your local machine and should help you for the moment. 1) You bring your request to the openSUSE board attention and get the "approval" from them that we can invest some time and money for keeping version-1 in the update repo 2) I will communicate the change to the mirror admins once 1 is done.

Sounds good to me. Why can't you contact the board? Is this some kind internal regulation?

I can - but as you see my response times are very bad. That's not because I'm too lazy, that's because I have other tasks on my table... As you are the one who wants something, I think it's just fair enough to ask you to drive things further. Especially as I gave you all the information you need for this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
