that would certainly be a nice thing. also it would be nice to have a mirror only of the required packages, not all, that is: if one workstation requires one package and it's not downloaded yet, the update server would download it and make it available to any other station requiring it ...
Most of the time I already have a mirror of the updates.
And it seems like a waste of bandwidth to download things again.
Would it be possible to add a line to yum to say look here first.
And "here" could be either another directory that might be nfs mounted or a
web site. If you find the package then use the local copy if not then go
and pull it down from whatever site.
I am only talking about packages, not headers.
Or if I am just doing a yum install and have a CD/DVD with the package on it
and it would be nice to again get it local if possible. Maybe even list
multiple local places. Like is it on a CD/DVD in the drive? Nope is it on
a local web site nope, then get it off the web.
I do want it to go to the web and find out what the current version is and
if I have it great, it not go get it.
If this is already done, please point me at the docs so that I can use it.
Thanks!
Jerry
