Thank for the suggestion.
However, the problem is that
yum (on the "fast host") check that the package for nstallation, update
or reinstallation.
So I did not find a way to down load on the fast host the package for
another
distribution, like a i686 from a host x86_64.
Can I force yum to not check.
Maybe I should use rpm?
At home I have a slow internet connection, Thus, I would like to
prepare an update but only download the packages to another
machine and then copy the file on a stick to make the update from
the stick.
How can I do it?
Thank.
I update my laptop at work and rsync to other machines when I get
home.
Here's a variation on that:
... On fasthost, modify /etc/yum.conf to set keepcache=1.
... If you've not set keepcache before, then you may still end up
downloading
... dependencies (to slowhost) not kept on fasthost from previous
runs.
fasthost# yum install/update [ --downloadonly ] THE-PACKAGES-I-WANT
fasthost# rsync -avP --include='*/' --include='*rpm' --exclude='*'
/var/cache/yum/ /media/STICK/yum/
... go home ...
slowhost# (edit /etc/yum.conf to set keepcache=1)
slowhost# rsync -avP /media/STICK/yum/ /var/cache/yum/
slowhost# yum update/install
This will only copy the RPMs; yum will still download metadata (see
yum.conf for "metadata_expire").
... optionally, rsync RPMs back to STICK, then back to fasthost
