I asked a while ago if there was any way of only downloading a package once and then installing it on several machine, and I was advised that the yum-downloadonly plugin would serve this purpose. I just got round to looking at this, and I don't really see how to set this up. What I would like is an option to yum, say localrepo, so that if I say "yum --localrepo update" then 1. yum will look first to see if the package it wants is already in the directory /common/RPMS/ (specified in some config file), and install it from there if it is found; and 2. If it does not find the package locally it will download and install it, and save a copy in /common/RPMS . Is this already available, eg using yum localinstall ? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
