Hi,
Given the following scenario: a local LAN with a couple of Tumbleweed installations, and optionally a server.
I) a modification of the zypper download lib to honor an environment variable, e.g. ZYPPERCACHE, and relaying the downloads to that system (server), if set II) a zypper caching server, that uses the zypper download lib, but implicitly keeps the downloads for later reuse. I fully support the idea of a local caching mechanism.
But I am not convinced it is a good solution to pack this functionality into zypper. In principle "some" local caching (http) proxy on one of the systems would be sufficient for this purpose, and zypper on the different systems accesses it just by proxy settings.
In the past I used wwwoffle to achieve such local caching because it was very easy to setup. The systems on the LAN used it for the updates. But wwwoffle is gone from the official repos, squid seems too much for this purpose, and I found no proper replacement yet.
The problem is that the actual download URL changes, depending on what the MirrorBrain answers each time is the best mirror. This makes using a proxy server more difficult.
A solution could be to just pick the best local mirror, for years I had my ISP's mirror hard coded rather then the official ones because data from there didn't count toward my usage quota. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
