Does YaST in 11.0 have an option yet to retain the downloaded packages in /var/cache instead of deleting them after install? Yast cannot set the keeppackages option zypper does with zypper ar -k. In order to keep downloaded packages I manually edit the .repo files in /etc/zypp/repos.d and change the option keeppackages=0 to keeppackages=1
Thanks for that, Dave. The problem I see is that you have to remember to do this for each repo you add, and if you forget then you can't transfer a DVD of the packages because the dependencies will be wrong.
LOL - I can't believe a GUI tickbox for this is still missing - people have been asking for it for the past couple of years, and the old YaST had it. Smart still rules, then.
One more thing, if you happen to edit the repository in yast it resets keeppackages to 0 Its been asked for at last. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=402617 Regards Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
