Re: [Fedora-livecd-list] Caching downloaded RPMs

Hi:
1) I'm building a LiveCD using a remote repository.
Everytime I restart the task, the packages are being redownloaded
into the temporal/mounted dir.
Is there any option for caching the downloaded packages?
The two methods I've used to solve the same problem are
1) squid
- you need to yum install, then briefly configure, then get it so the
livecd tool utilizes a yum configuration with the specified localhost
http proxy (or I think there was also a way to utilize the squid proxy
by getting some http proxy environment variable set correctly).
2) just maintain a mirror. I use lftp to maintain a personal mirror of
extras and updates. You could probably write a script to maintain a
subset mirror if for some reason you really wanted that, but (1) still
wasn't preferable.
I do think that this is such a fundamental aspect of doing serious work
with creating livecds that the interface for mirror/cache management
should be tightly integrated with the livecd creator tool (in the long
run).

PS: I'm on FC6 building a FC7 live CD.
2) If there is no option or trick for caching, how can I download
only some packages (+ dependencies) into my local repository for
building a minimal LiveCD.
Thanks.
