Which is fine for the files on the DVD that it indexes, but I usually have my rpm's downloaded from the internet, which don't have the same package-list as on the DVD.
Then use webpin.
But there is no ARCHIVES.gz for non-oss. :-?
---- Most directories that don't have that (non-oss, src, others, and all the update dirs, and any other repos that are enabled).
In the past, they did. Example: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/13.1/repo/non-oss/ARCHIVES.gz

Ah, then have a look at the command "pin", because it does exactly that - except that the file list is obtained from ARCHIVES file in the DVD. Or from the ftp server.
Or use the command "webpin", which does a similar thing but against an online database of all repos. The problem is, it fails often.

Well, you depart so much from the standard that it is no surprise :-P
pin *** pin found no ARCHIVES_13.2.gz file in /var/lib/pin/ pin will copy the files, please enter root password : Password: no file ARCHIVES_13.2.gz found please insert CD1/DVD in your CD-ROM/DVD drive / bitte CD1/DVD einlegen
So? Put the file where it expects to find it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
