OK, this isn't a direct DNF/YUM item, but still... I have several workstations/laptops with the same Fedora version (currently 20): * Downloading the same RPM's/DRPM's for each of these hosts is a huge waste. * OTOH, I haven't found a no-brainer yum-proxy (a-la Debian's apt-proxy or apt-cacher-ng) * I update them daily. I do this manually to have a quick look at what changes. * Sometimes I update via KDE apper (which use PackageKit, which calls yum backend). * But most of the time I do this over ssh, using DNF (it's faster...) So my workaround is: * I have a script: "yumcache_to <hostname>" * This copies (via rsync) all RPM's/DRPM's under /var/cache/yum. Last year I also added /var/cache/dnf. * It doesn't copy the meta-data files (for safety -- maybe they are in the middle of update via PackageKit or some cron-job). * When I started using DNF, I modified my script to also cross-hard-link all packages between yum and dnf caches before the rsync. * This effectively make them behave as a unified cache. Since some of my updates are via yum (e.g: via PackageKit) and some via dnf -- this cross-hard-linking also save extra downloads. For this to be effective: * I have a keepcache=1 in /etc/yum.conf and keepcache=true in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf * I have another "yumcache_dillute" script that remove old RPM's from caches (by time-stamp). As said, this isn't directly yum/dnf issue, but your are the people that can think of the missing pieces (some yum/dnf proxy -- that maps url's across mirrorlist -- so the same RPM's is a proxy hit, regardless of which exact mirror it was pulled off) Thank you all, -- Oron Peled Voice: +972-4-8228492 oron@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://users.actcom.co.il/~oron ...there are two types of command interfaces in the world of computing: good interfaces and user interfaces. - Dan Bernstein, Author of qmail -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
