Fellow Fedorians,
I would like to setup a local yum mirror of base/updates-released kept
up with a nightly run of rsync. Then I can configure each fedora box
yum.conf to point to this server. I have a few questions related to
this. If anyone knows of a faq or howto related to this, please send me
a pointer.
Does anyone know how to rsync from the public Redhat servers?
If I have to rsync from a mirror, does a differing directory structure
matter and if so how?
Which files/directories are needed by yum base and updates-released
other than headers/rpms/srpms, or which can be skipped (*.iso)?
If I switch to a local repository after some updates from the Redhat
servers, do I need to do any maintenance first such as delete
/var/cache/yum?
Thanks,
Dale
