[opensuse] Offline Repository for openSUSE
Hi, I am a student from BITS Pilani Goa Campus in India. We have an appreciable number of openSUSE users in our campus. However, due to limited bandwidth, it is very difficult for us to download packages and updates from the internet. Hence, I would like to know if there is a way to host a local repository in our campus. For Ubuntu, we had ordered a DVD set containing all the Ubuntu repositories. We have hosted the content of these DVDs on a local server, and the server updates its packages from the internet automatically. Is something similar possible to do for SUSE too? Thank You, Aditya Bhiday -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

please check if http://en.opensuse.org/Network_Installation_Source suits your requirements. It's not completely up to date but can give you some hints for the beginning. It's also possible to mirror http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/ to your network. The packages there shouldn't change so no update mechanism needed. For the online updates you would need to mirror http://download.opensuse.org/update/ and keep it current by some automatic updating using one of several methods. That was the rough overview. I'm pretty sure others will come up with more details as I can't find recent documents explaining them offhand.
