Make rpmdrake save files

When you install packages from the web it downloads them to:

 

/var/cache/urpmi/partial (partial unfinished packages)

 

or

 

/var/cache/urpmi/rpms (completed packages).

 

After it installs them it deletes them. If you want to keep the files as I do sometimes then edit:

 

/etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg

 

and add:

 

{

post-clean :0

}

 

to /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg at the very top of the file.

 

NOTE: DO NOT DO IT LIKE THIS:

 

{post-clean :0

}

 

OR LIKE THIS:

 

{post-clean :0}

 

This caused mine to erase all of the sources in the file. Make sure you make a backup in case you do loose the sources that way tou can easily put them back and try again. MUST BE DONE AS ROOT USER.

 

The saved packages will be in /var/cache/urpmi/rpms
