Does/will Yast online update support HTTP (or at least http proxy)?
We are working on http support.
Hum; is SuSE reinventing the wheel and implements an own FTP client? Couldn't you just use wget or a similar tool?
And rpm itself supports ftp proxies.
BTW: Is YOU meant for servers or for desktops only? I just gave it a quick view (wasn't working :)), my fault I think, but it seems to delete downloaded RPMs after installation.
It only does that if you have 'Remove source-packages after update' option checkbox ticked on the Online Update Confirmation dialog. I do find that option poorly named as 'source-packages' to me, makes me think of source rpm's not the binary packages that you install. If you never delete and just leave the rpms you'll find /var/lib/YaST will get very large with updated rpm's after a while. Rob
