Description Miquel A. Noguera 2008-12-13 17:55:59 UTC
Please, implement the "download only" possibility in zypper.

It should accept a list of files as a argument, without checking for package dependencies.

I would use this to download only the packages I really use and use them to maintain my own local repo.

Before I did it with apt:

To get the file list I need (in each pc):
rpm -qa --queryformat "%{name}\n" | grep -v gpg-pubkey | sort > workstation-1.lst

Then, I run nightly in my server:
apt-get -dy `cat workstation-1.lst` `cat workstation-2.lst` ...

Thanks
