Works great and using cron or other method, you can automate it completely. He put a lot of thought and effort into this package and it is well documented and allows all your issues to be addressed across multiple machines and versions including simultaneous updates. He deserves many thanks.
I think I have seen it. Creating a local repo?
<snip> For this scenario a full local repo is impossible. The shared directories via nfs are workable, with some care.
It is also possible to build, picking the files already downloaded by each computer in the network, a local repo of whatever we have, even incomplete. But there is no way I know that YaST could pick packages from that incomplete repo and what is missing from a remote.
This is exactly what Dave's solution is.... you are NOT replicating a full repo, JUST the RPMs that you actually install on any of the machines at your site and only once and if you have a DVD, only files not on the DVD, eg, updates and files you download from other repos like Packman or VLC. You really should check it out....it is a total solution that is right for low bandwidth challenged installations as well as those with fiber optics :) It would be especially good for a 56k site with multiple computers needing common files.
