History
Monty Taylor 3acc866f6d Use DIB_IMAGE_CACHE everywhere 
disk-image-create processes a DIB_IMAGE_CACHE variable and exports it,
but there are several elements that ignore the value and wrote out
the base location themselves. Use the variable everywhere so that it
will get overridden everywhere.

README.md

This element provides some customizations for zypper based distributions like SLES and openSUSE. It works in a very similar way as the yum element does for yum based distributions.

Zypper is reconfigured so that it keeps downloaded packages cached outside of the build chroot so that they can be reused by subsequent image builds. The cache increases image building speed when building multiple images, especially on slow connections. This is more effective than using an HTTP proxy for caching packages since the download servers will often redirect clients to different mirrors.
