Hi.
does anyone know a way to share the packages downloaded at my dektop with my notebook?
What I want to do is click to install a package at my laptop, make yast check if the file is already downloaded at my desktop, if so use the package from the dektop, if not, download from a internet repository. Similar with what apt-cacher does.
Can anyone help?
Hi
If you setup the desktop directory as a samba share, then use cifs/smb
to point at it and use the ‘plain rpm’ feature to create it on your
laptop. That’s all I do here with both rpm’s and iso images with a NAS.

Ewww!!.. Malcolm, samba ick… unless of course your NAS is only winblows
orientated I will forgive you but please wash your mouth out.
To the OP, if this is between 2 or more linux boxen then nfs is probably a
much better way of sharing stuff, and personally I would create a specific
directory in your /home/<username> for sharing rather than using your
desktop and then share that.
Then at the other machines you can configure that dir as a NFS source by
using YaST add repositories, there is a specific option there for just this
reason.

Hi.
First sorry about the delay. Second. THanks for the reply.
How do I make Yast save the packages I install? Doesn’t it delete after install??
