+  * Why isn't the full wsusoffline application directly included in the OPSI package? Wouldn't it be easier to start the download directly in the OPSI directory instead of copying the client-directory to OPSI afterwards?
+    * For the first run, this would be indeed easier. However, if you update the OPSI wsusoffline package to a newer version, all files already downloaded will be deleted (by opsi-package-manager), because they are not included in the package. Of course, you can backup them before, and apply them again after the update. However, then this approach would not be easier anymore. So in my opinion, it is cleaner, to handle the download indepent from the install part, and copy the full client-directory to OPSI after downloading the files.
