Hi,
Could that feature be added to yast/zypper?
The idea is that, instead of it doing the actual package download, it generates a list of relative/absolute URLS to download, so that the user can take it to another machine with Internet and do it.
There are people without internet on their machines; be it because there is no internet in their area, expensive, but they can use a school or library access, or because the machine is on an isolated intranet section in an organization.
I have seen two cases recently in the forum. One of them is behind a proxy that blocks an non firefox agent string, and zypper insists on using "ZYpp". Another one is using plain dialup modem.
The current workaround is to mirror the entire needed repos on external hard disks... and these can be huge.
Hi Carlos, I think this is the incorrect mailinglist for this conversation. opensuse-project@opensuse.org is primarily focused on community and project related affairs, a new feature like this would probably be best discussed in zypp-devel@opensuse.org if you want to reach out to the actual developers working on zypper, or maybe opensuse-packaging@ or opensuse-factory@ if you want the input from a wider audience.. but I wouldn't recommend that until discussing it on the appropriate zypp-devel list first.
