any option to save updates?
Authored by: mithras on Jul 17, '02 06:53:51AM

In the GUI updater, you can select to save the update package before you install it. That's handy for archiving the updates to CD, or for installing on multiple computers while saving download time.

I wonder if there's even a hidden option to do that with the softwareupdate tool? It'd be a nice touch for the next rev, anyway...

man pages don't say anything about saving updates. This is a feature I use a lot and would liketo find a way to do this. Wonder if we could pipe it to a tar archive or something after it has completed installing?
