rpmdrake configuration [solved]

[arshadmomen]

Hi,

 

I recently switched back to mandriva after running fedora on my old laptop for 2 years- so far it's been a great joy to be using

Mandriva.But it seems that I have forgotten lot of Mandriva tricks over these 2 years. So I need your help.

 

Here's the problem: I am trying to retain the downloaded rpms while applying updates using rpmdrake.

I have attempted this by editing the /etc/urpmi.cfg file and by adding the

 

no-clean:1

 

in the global options. But everytime I start line this option gets erased and thus no files are retained in the

/var/cache/uprmi/rpms directory. This is probably not the right option to do this.

 

If there is any workaronud this problem I will really appreciate it.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

A.

Add the following to /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg

 

{

post-clean :0

}

 

Exactly as shown here.
