Yes, like that, but for whole system update. Actualy i forgot that such feature already used for online update. May be it will be not so hard to mirror that feature on System Update.
I like that idea very much -- but it might not be as easy as it seems in the first place ;)
Actually we already talked about this a couple of months ago. I think it can be implemented by having a transport mechanism "drpmsync" next to "nfs", "ftp" and the like. I don't think it would be so hard to implement.
Actually, I'd like to see "drpmsync over rsync", "drpmsync over ftp" or "drpmsync over http", in order to spur the distribution of drpmsync in general ;)
Is it just a plan for future? Or it will be discussed in the "smart" branch? Could it be a project idea for SoC? I don't have a student status, but a friend of mine has, we could implement that feature for Yast System Update. All we need is a maintainer.
It could be turned into a SoC project -- I'll add it to the page soon, amongst the other stuff that has been suggested. Regards Christoph
