A fully configured Open-Suse build is several GB in size. I could download these files manually, but for gosh sakes, why would anyone think one should re-do manually what Yast is already doing automatically (dependency resolving and all)? All I ask is that -- please, can there be an OPTION to save downloaded RPMs locally?
The only way I'm aware of is to rsync the repositories. Thus I'm keeping about 30GB of files on my hdd. ;) To find out what does a server have to offer use e.g: 'rsync -n ftp5.gwdg.de::' To rsync the files of let say packman repo and for i386 only use e.g.: rsync -tvrl --exclude=repodata/ --exclude=x86_64/ --exclude=i386/ --exclude=i486/ --exclude=media.1/ --exclude=setup/ --exclude=src --exclude=SRPMS/ --exclude=content --exclude=content.* --exclude=directory.* --exclude=gpg* --delete ftp5.gwdg.de::pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/10.2/ /srv/ftp/repos/10.2/packman/ More in 'man rsync' thx /j -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
