So I want install OpenSuse 11.3 x64 , I download all packages are in

x86_64

Do I need download other packages are in other directory or no?
Do I need download packages are in noarch , nsrc and src directories , for make local repo or no ?
and another questions how I can make localk repo with opensuse , I want copy all files on my HDD and make local repo and install all packages I need

I can’t make out what you want to do:

Perhaps this is what you need:
Multimedia Pack Portable for openSUSE 11.3

Sorry for my bad English
all of us know packages in DVD of OpenSUSE are limit and we do not have all packages we need . in home I do not have internet connection and I can not connect to internet and download and install everything I need , in work place I have internet connection and I want download all packages are use by OpenSUSE 11.3 and then move them to home and make localrepo and start install all packages I need , So I go to that link and I download all packages are in

x86_64

with rsync
so my question is after download all packages are in x86_64 directory do I need download other packages are in src or other packages for make localrepo ?
I do this with Fedora and download all things and make local repo

in home I do not have another computer , so I can not move rpm files and make localrepo , So I have to make local repo on my HDD , I want install OpenSuse 11.3 with DVD and install some application are on DVD , after that I want put all rpm files on my HDD and make localrepo and install other application from my Hard Disk , I do this with Fedora

There is an option to create local repositories in YaST’s Software Repositories. When you click “Add” to add a repository you are given several options; the default is set to “Specify URL …”, but somewhere down the list there is also “Local Directory …”.

I repeat that you have to do it manually yourself.

I do not have good experience with OpenSUSE , in Fedora we have

 createrepo

command and we make local repo ,
can I use this command for make localrepo in OpenSUSE ?

11

I assume you might add local directories as repositories in zypper in just the same way that you add remote repositories.

zypper ar dir:///path/to/local/directory Name

Watch out for the spaces.

ETA: For instance you could create the folder “local_repo” on your /home partition and the decide to name your repository “Local_Repo”:

zypper ar dir:///home/local_repo Local_Repo

Again, watch out for the spaces.

In Fedora we have free rpmfusion and nonfree rpmfusion and we can find other packages like Nvidia Driver and multimedia codecs , and in Fedora I download all of these packages from rpmfusion free and nonfree directories and put them in localrepo ,
can I find something like this for OpenSUSE , and I want download them and put them in localrepo and use them ?

13

Yes, I am doing that in fact in the case of the 256.53 Nvidia drivers. I downloaded the rpms and put them into a directory which is set up as a local repository. The rest is software mangement as usual. :wink:

14

thanks again Lord_Emsworth
but my questions is another thing
where I can find nonfree application for OpenSUSE and download them and put them in localrepo and install them ?
Does OpenSUSE has something like free and nonfree rpmfusion or no ?

That would be the non-oss repo, and packman and videolan for multimedia.

Extra blank space to added to improve readability.
The “oss” rsync call gets both oss and non-oss.
You may wish to add “–exclude=ppc” to the options of the commands.
The 64-bit versions of opensuse are not yet pure 64-bit, it may be
worthwhile to include i586 and i686 portions.

I have this set of rsyncs in a script file:

code
++++++++++++++
rsync -avi --bwlimit=1000
rsync.opensuse.org::opensuse-full/opensuse/update/11.1/
/media/disk-2/11.1/update/

rsync -avi --bwlimit=1000
rsync.opensuse.org::opensuse-full/opensuse/distribution/11.1/repo/
/media/disk-2/11.1/oss

rsync -avi --bwlimit=1000
www.opensuse-education.org::download/repo/1.0/11.1/
/media/disk-2/11.1/education/

rsync -avi --bwlimit=1000 ftp.skynet.be::packman/suse/11.1/
/media/disk2/11.1/packman/

==============

I then use yast to connect to the local repos and disable the internet
ones yielding this:

AFAIK zypper does not copy/create repos. Do the copying to the local disk
with the tool of your choice. I use yast to attach the repo (it is just
really a GUI front end to zypper or the relevant lower level calls).
“zypper ar” will add a repo to the system repo list. Try “man zypper” or
“man zypper ar” for more information.

To add a local repository using zypper, use

su -
zypper ar -ft plaindir /path/to/localrepo <alias>

Replace <alias> with the identity for your repository, say “LocalRepo.”
