Is that anything different than this: (essentially a cache) https://fedoramagazine.org/use-the-dnf-local-plugin-to-speed-up-your-home-lab/ For which the only benefit is if you use two or more machines through it (their DNF updates use what you've cached, rather than the outside world), and only if they're installing the same things. Those other *machines* could be physical hardware, or virtual. Copied from that link above: "Repository management "The local repository will accumulate files over time. Among the files will be many versions of rpms that change frequently. The kernel rpms are one such example. A system upgrade (for example upgrading from Fedora Linux 33 to Fedora Linux 34) will copy many rpms into the local repository. The dnf repomanage command can be used to remove outdated rpm archives." -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
