Description Stephen Herr 2014-06-11 20:26:06 UTC 
Enable the user to pre-load RPMs into Proxy. The RPMs should be stored in a non-expiring cache. This will allow the user to reduce network bandwidth required and increase RPM retrieval speeds in the case of a slow network.

This feature would be dependent on getting bug 1104375 and bug 1105273 fixed.
Comment 1 Stephen Herr 2014-06-11 20:31:25 UTC 
With the two bugs in comment 0 fixed the already-existing rhn_package_manager option --copyonly will create the cache described above.

I have updated the man page to explain this feature, and added a new option --from-export which allows rhn_package_manager to read / cache rpms from a channel dump.
