Keeping files downloaded by Smart

[John Pilkington]

I posted a shorter version of this on the ATrpms list yesterday, but it
looks more at home here:

----------------
I asked how to use smart to install rpm packages and still retain them
for use elsewhere - this facility was present in synaptic, now obsolete
in the ATrpms fc3 repo.

Martin Lubich reported success using:

          smart config --set remove-packages=true

but this didn't seem to fit the current version of Smart on ATrpms for
fc3   (remove-packages wasn't recognized, and the logic looks wrong).

After trying several variations suggested by smart --help  and variants
it looked as if

          smart config  --set clean=false

might work:  at least it produced a plausible response to

          smart config --show clean       ---->      False

But this doesn't appear to affect operations.  The  packages folder is
still cleaned after installation, using either smart alone or smart-gui.

HTH - other suggestions still hoped-for!
