Libzypp (yast and zypper) can keep packages in /var/cache/zypp/packages/ in a directory that matches the repository the rpms were downloaded from. For example if the file /etc/zypp/repos.d/packman.repo was the repository description file for http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/11.0/ and the section in the file keeppackages was set to keeppackages=1 then the directory /var/cache/zypp/packages/packman/i586 wil contain all rpms that libzypp downloads from http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/11.0/i586/ . These packages can be moved to another directory and that directory turned into a local repository with the createrepo command. zypper has a -k option used with zypper ar to add repos with keeppackages set to 1
Ahhhh! That's it. And... if i manually copy the files from /var/cache/zypp/packages/packman/i586 from one computer to another, will those be picked locally instead of downloaded? A trick we used time ago was to publish that directory rw via nfs, and use it on all the computers, but i don't know how willthat work with libzyp :-? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
