Feature changed by: Rajko Matovic (rajko_m) Feature #308846, revision 6 Title: Option to "download only" rpm files in cache openSUSE-11.3: Rejected by Thomas Schmidt (digitaltomm) reject reason: Moved to 11.4 Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Eduardo Sotomayor (easgs) Description: In yast, there is the option when setting up software repositories to keep rpm files in cache after a software installation, it would be good to have too an option "Download only", with this option you will be able to get a program with all its dependencies ready to install later in a computer without internet without affecting the current system. This option is available in ubuntu apt-get with the option -d Discussion: #1: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2010-01-19 01:38:38) keeppackages=1 in /etc/zypp/repo.d/*, isn't it? #2: Eduardo Sotomayor (easgs) (2010-01-19 16:04:10) I don’t know if it is my bad English or I can not explain myself, but it is the second time that someone misunderstands a feature of mine, I am not talking about just keeping the files in a cache folder, that is already possible, check this out http://forums.opensuse.org/applications/391222-create-offline-repo-ymp-file.... it its also possible with the command zypper mr -ka I am talking about a graphical Yast option (checkbox), not a command line option, to just download the files without installs them, that way you can get the program with all the dependencies without modifying your system, lets say you have a friend that needs a program but he doesn’t have internet at home, you have internet but don’t want the program installed in your system just to get the rpm files, you are a casual user so you don’t like very much the command line, that is where the Yast graphical checkbox option to “Download Only” become useful. #3: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2010-01-20 18:48:22) (reply to #2) There already was a FATE item for that IIRC. #4: Thomas Schmidt (digitaltomm) (2010-11-15 18:07:04) (reply to #2) I think the commandline is perfectly fine for the type of user that wants to perform this task. + #5: Rajko Matovic (rajko_m) (2010-11-17 05:44:06) + zypper install --download-only + Should do what is asked in this feature, but still it will not work for + another system, as you can have package xyz installed, but your friend + may need it. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308846
