Then, the packages will remain in /var/cache/dnf/rawhide[]/packages, and you can transfer them wherever you want. Maybe write an rsync script that will put them in the /var/cache/dnf/rawhide[]/packages directory on all the other systems you want to update. Set keepcache=0 on those systems so the packages are removed after update, and when the rsync is done, just run dnf clean packages in the rsync script to get rid of them on the original system. ___ test mailing list -- test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to test-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

You can use a transparent if your gateway/firewall supports it or you can set the proxy options in dnf.conf (man dnf.conf for details) and then you don't need to adjust repo files. ___ test mailing list -- test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to test-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

People have mentioned "Just use Squid" in the past relating to this sort of problem. When I found Approx on Debian I just set up to use that, and stopped investigating Squid.

Package caching
Debian has the approx system for package caching. This is just a proxy for caching actually demanded packages. It does mean though that I only download once and can upgrade 5 machines. Since Internet is still metered during working hours for some of us, this caching is extremely useful. So the question is, doe something such as this exist for Fedora Rawhide? If not is anyone interested in helping make it exist? What is the programming language of such things for Fedora these days? Go, Rust, C++, Python 3,… -- Russel. = Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Roadm: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ test mailing list -- test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to test-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
