Use rsync to sync openSUSE’s updates from their server to a local server.
Make that a cron job.

Then use that as a repository for clients that can, again via cron job,
pull the updates.

I used to do that times ago due to lack of bandwith.
It’s not a problem anymore so I would gain nothing with this arrangement
si I’ve given it up long ago.

And how you do this?
A hint here :slight_smile:
