Re: [Cooker] Mandrake 9.1 Should be Delayed

[Jason Greenwood]

Yup, that is basically what I am doing now except that I usually just freshen (rpm -Fvh *.rpm) instead of URPMI Auto Select. I will try your method and see how it works. I wish I could figure out how to use rsync via an ftp client, then I wouldn't be downloading all the packages, just the changes. I understand URPMI works with rsync mirrors as well but it doesn't seem to be working properly on my work box but I need to investigate further.

Cheers

PS, good to see you again Todd. I was offlist for a while....

   PS,  I DON'T use urpmi/software manager on my cooker box at home cause
   I'm  on dialup and URPMI doesn't resume if the connection is broken on
   remote sources AFAIK. As such, it is easier for me to download via FTP
   and  then either freshen or urpmi from the updated local source. On my
   work box (9.0) I use mandrake update just fine.
    

Paraphrasing, but a good way to do it is:
1) mkdir /home/rpm (only first time)
2) urpmi.addmedia Local file:///home/rpm (only first time)
3) ftp the files to /home/rpm (every time)
4) urpmi.update Local (every time)
5) urpmi --auto-select
