Hi carlos, thanks for answer, but:
No. To download a repo or parts of it you use a normal file downloader of your choice or preference.
as have written : "non browsable" so, non browsable will not make it possible for me to get all the names of files they where there, except they are somewhere inside repo.xml which points to this repodata-files something like ....-primary.xml (and others) but without writing a script to extract the filenames i see no possibility to use a file downloader. / or a script using the output from "zypper search -s --repo reponame" and puzzle this output to download names together....
Ok. You first add the repo normally, then you tell zypper to only download a certain package(s) (install with download only option), which will be temporarily stored at a certain local directory. At that point you manually make a copy of that directory.
i tried: zypper install -f --download-only --dry-run --repo name-of-repo * BUT 1) the "*" will not interpretet as it should, (in my opinion) it will try to download names found at the actual working directory 2) i think it will also not use only that repo i gave with --repo 3) if i change to: zypper install -f --download-only --dry-run --repo name-of-repo hell* it interprets the "*" correct and start to only download all (actual) packages starting with "hell", but NOT older packages starting with "hell" 4) the --dry-run option is ignored (it will really download) files 5) second attemp i tried: zypper download --dry-run --all-matches hell* will download all versions of "hell*" but i do not know to specify the repo here, and also only "*" did gave me some "stupid"? results. :-(((( simoN www.becherer.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
