Guest Delbert Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hi all --- I am new to the forum. I know the command option --noclean when I install packages from the command line, and that way I keep the downloaded and installed rpms in my possession in /var/cache/urpmi/rpms But I think when I do installs from the GUI, the MCC, then I cannot control the auto-cleaning of rpms --- is there a config file where I can tell MCC not to delete the installed rpms? Thanks Delbert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I think the config file is /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg. Placing “noclean†on its own line between the first pair of brackets (the empty ones at the begining of the file) should solve your issue, I think. Yves.

Greg2 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 The no-clean option doesn't work anymore, now you have to use post-clean. You can add a 'post-clean' global option to your urpmi.cfg file by adding this section to the top of your /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg file: { post-clean: 0 } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Delbert Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) Thanks Yves and Greg2, I will do it tomorrow morning, when I reach to the Mandriva machine --- I will come and report back. Cheers. Edited March 10, 2009 by Delbert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Delbert Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Thanks folks --- I used { post-clean: 0 } and that should be fine. Delbert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
