Maybe I missed a point till now, but can any of these package managers store the downloaded packages locally? E.g. Yast Online Update was able to do this till SUSE 10.0 and it was easy to create a personalized patch CD. It would save bandwidth an time (and lots of my nerves) if it was possible to store the packages and repository data on my HD. Can anybody give me a hint if it is possible?
This would also be nice not only for updates, but RPM's in general. e.g. I can download MPlayer and all that is needed into /usr/src/packages/RPMS/* and can use that as a base for other machines (or whatever) -- houghi http://houghi.org http://www.plainfaqs.org/linux/ http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
