Re: [opensuse] Offline Update of SuSE ?

* Peter Maffter [02-13-12 14:58]:

Thanks for your answer but I am looking for a solution to get the newest updates on another machine, since the machine, that needs the updates, is offline.

So my plan is to get the Updates/patches for 12.1 on machine A and transfer them to machine B with a freshly installed OpenSuSE 12.1 to perform the update from some directory there.

Best regards Pete

...

Is there a solution for this in SuSE 12.1? Some file list with the newest updates so that I can download them with wget or similar?

I do not want to browse through the old updates and I do not want to have the hassle to select files. Just a simple solution.

The problem is, that I would like to have the list of latest updates at first without browsing. It would be easier for me.

zypper ref; zypper -v up

will provide you with a fresh list of updates

zypper up --download-only <file1> <file2> <file3>

will download specified files and not install

zypper mr -kt

will enable keeping packages for all *remote* repo

zypper --help zypper <option> --help man zypper

Are all big helps in learning how zypper package management works

You can search for the thread, I don't know the Subject:, or email direct: "David C. Rankin" (replace <at>/@) David composed a scheme to download patches/updates to one machine and make them, composit, available to other local machines. I don't recall the particulars but I am sure that he will and will be helpful. Otherwise, retain or download-only the updates/patches and make your own repo available locally via ??_nfs or some other manner and use the local repo. I maintain a small repo locally (nfs) which I use for packages not available on the *regular* repos from repos that contain unwanted packages or packages not suited for my install. I believe that in essance this is what David is doing. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
