Here here. I REALLY hope they bring back the function to save RPMs and
patches with the YOU tool. A proxy in all theory might work but it would
require a separate box and or HDD in the current machine. A better
option is to provide a YAST GUI to set up a software store/repository on
an existing fs, perhaps under /home as most people keep, or at least
should keep, a backup of this folder.
Yes, the option to save the downloaded rpms is a must have for quite
some people.
Then, there are people without internet connection, but sometimes they can
go to somewhere else and download things; the problem is how to know what
to download ensuring there will be no dependencies problem.
We were thinking of that in the Spanish list the other day: a chap has
connection at the job, not at home. The idea would be, for instance, to
create something on an external usb disk with the repos metadata. Yast or
something would analyze it and create a list of things to download, with
paths. Another day the usb disk would be filled in and this time yast
could run from the repo on disk.
The working alternative is to download the whole repo.
