Here here. I REALLY hope they bring back the function to save RPMs and patches with the YOU tool. A proxy in all theory might work but it would require a separate box and or HDD in the current machine. A better option is to provide a YAST GUI to set up a software store/repository on an existing fs, perhaps under /home as most people keep, or at least should keep, a backup of this folder.
Yes, the option to save the downloaded rpms is a must have for quite some people. Then, there are people without internet connection, but sometimes they can go to somewhere else and download things; the problem is how to know what to download ensuring there will be no dependencies problem. We were thinking of that in the Spanish list the other day: a chap has connection at the job, not at home. The idea would be, for instance, to create something on an external usb disk with the repos metadata. Yast or something would analyze it and create a list of things to download, with paths. Another day the usb disk would be filled in and this time yast could run from the repo on disk. The working alternative is to download the whole repo. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
