I have two SuSE boxes both running OpenSuSE 11.0. I run two separate
updates and download almost all updates twice.
Because of limits imposed by ISP's, I am concerned that the typically
huge updates will exceed the limits. This month I have had over 12Gb
total for both boxes.
How can I fetch all the updates required for both boxes once without
having to become a repository and download everything--which would far
exceed isp's limits. This would probably be some sort of proxy agent
that can read the installed database for each box then fetch each
package once and only once for both boxes. Is there yet a utility to
do that?
I think the Squid Proxy Server would work, but I have never tested it.
Sorry for the flood of messages. I think my post was a little
confusing -- I have used the Squid proxy server and it does work, I
have just never tested it for downloading openSUSE updatates -- so I
am not 100% certain it will reduce your bandwidth usage as you desire,
but in theory it should. You might have to increase the default cache
size and cache object setting to insure the larger updates are cached
by it.
