Hello, Another way is to download rpms to a location on disk then use createrepo to generate metadata for it. example follows:
Interesting, thanks. However, something that people having to use limited internet connections (like I do this instant, but not tonight) is to have something that downloads the minimal repository metadata necessary to calculate an update, and then, instead of updating, generates a full download list (complete urls and files) so that we can take it to a library, friend, whatever, download it, take it back to our half-isolated machine, and do the update with that data (with no more refreshes). Fully isolated machines are more difficult. In that case, the first step is downloading the needed metadata on the library (so we need a full list), go back to the isolated machine, calculate the update off-line, with that metadata we downloaded, generate a list of packages to download, go back to the library, download them, go back to the isolated machine, complete the update. As you see, a complicated scenario, but doable with some help from devs. Currently people in this situation have to do many loop jumps to even try something similar. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
