Hi I wanna make a SuSE updates FTP server for all of us at work that use suse(everyone else on mandrake and hav their FTP for updates) now whats the procedure to do that? I know it needs a certain directory structure and so forth, but ive been strugling to move my updates from home (/var/lib/YaST2/you...) to work, i pont to i386/... but it never finds any extra packages. Any help would be great. Thanx

Here's the command to use. You need to first make up the structure in /usr/local/. Then point YOU using 'user defined' location to: /usr/local/update/ #!/bin/sh rsync -auvzr /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/9.3/ /usr/local/update/i386/update/9.3/
The thing is i dont have the updates at work i have the at home on my SuSE box, so can i just make a "/usr/local/updates/" folder and copy everything from a cd(that i cut at home) into that directory. Keeping the right structure so "/usr/local/updates/i386/update/9.3/..." ? I tried today pointing to user-defined location on "cd:///directory/dir..." all before i386 but i didnt see any new patches or packages, is there something im missing? As far as i remeber thats all thee was to it in 9.1 suse. Thanx On Tuesday 31 May 2005 21:30, Bruce Marshall wrote:

Don't see why not.
