Hi Folks,
Is there a way to maintain local copies of the openSUSE repositories? Maintenance includes keeping the local repos up-to-date by downloading only the deltas between the remote and local repos.
I know how to do this using the Red Hat "reposync" program, a part of the yum/dnf package, but it just doesn't feel right having to depend on Red Hat for what would appear to be core functionality.
Note: I can't use rsync due to policy constraints. But web ports 80 and 443 are okay. I know, go figure...
Any thoughts?
For Tumbleweed, delta's atleast are not possible, because we do not create deltarpm's there. For Leap updates this might be. It won't help with your air gap, unless its not really an air gap and your machine is network accessible to the ones you want to update. But for the interest of others on list I use https://github.com/Firstyear/opensuse-proxy-cache so that I only have to fetch tumbleweed updates once. Its a pretty easy podman container to setup. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
