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 ... <div>2007/2/2, Jerry Williams <<a href="mailto:jwilliam@xmission.com">jwilliam@xmission.com</a>>:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> 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!
