<div dir="ltr"><div>Well an RPM repo copy job is basically just a ton of symlinks. The problem you'll have is each time you do it if you want the old stuff gone before updating -latest to the newest snapshot copy you'll have to remove everything in latest then re-copy. <br><br></div>I don't see an easier way but then again we roll risky - we let the updates come as they appear upstream. <br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jun 17, 2016 at 12:00 PM, Baird, Josh <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jbaird@follett.com" target="_blank">jbaird@follett.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> <div link="blue" vlink="purple" lang="EN-US"> <div> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">Yeah, this does work.
