Hello list,
This question has puzzled my quite some time.
I have 2 machines, both running openSUSE (10.2)
They have different purposes, and therefore are quite different in
amount/selection of installed packages.
I use (and is a big fan of) smart to keep both machines up to date.
They both have the same repositories added.
Even though the machines have different selection of packages, there are
a lot of overlaps, for example KDE and Gnome are installed on both.
That means, when I do a 'smart upgrade', I will use 2x the bandwidth for
the packages that the machines have in common.
Isn't all the communication done via http? Then why not set up a proxy
like squid and tell it to do caching? Then configure your online update
to use the proxy and all the files you download the second time will
come from the proxy cache (=hard disk) instead of the internet.
Regards
nordi
