[opensuse-factory] RC2 for low bandwidth users?
All, Do we have any idea how big the "zypper up" will be from 13.1 RC2 to 13.1 general release? == why I ask == I have a friend that wants to try out Linux for the first time. I don't want to wait for 13.1 Gold (which is a couple weeks away). I'm thinking of loading 13.1 RC2 on his system. I can download the DVD and burn it easily enough. Trouble is he has a low bandwidth connection so if there is going to be a GB or more of upgrades from RC2 to Gold, I need to figure out a different solution.

There should be not much updates if nothing goes wrong. Also rebuilding is disabled so my expected update size would be something around 100-300 megs. Also this depens on what we update, there might be kdelibs update and similar which sadly is large, but that is hard to predict before we get there. Cheers Tom

Tell package management to keep all packages, put them on a USB and copy on a friend's computer. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Or use yast2-add-on-creator to create an iso image of the rpms for installing? -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) SLED 11 SP3 (x86_64) GNOME 2.28.0 Kernel 3.0.93-0.8-default up 3 days 4:14, 4 users, load average: 0.75, 0.63, 0.69 CPU Intel® B840@1.9GHz | GPU Intel® Sandybridge Mobile -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I've tried that two times in the past and zypper downloaded all packages again anyway. If there's an incantation that gets it to recognize new files in its cache directory then I haven't found it.

I have :-) The repositories need have the same alias name (not name), and they need have the "keep downloaded packages" tick activated (otherwise, the package gets deleted). Then you have to share the tree "/var/cache/zypp/packages/", or populate the tree on the second machine. If the packages are the exact same version, they are used. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
