Local FC mirror

[Dave Brennan]

I use the following to rsync a local mirror.  IIt runs as a cron.daily

rsync -avHP --delete --partial --stats --exclude "debug/" --exclude
"SRPMS" rsync://rsync.planetmirror.com/fedora-linux-updates/2/i386/
/var/www/html/fedora/updates/2

I dont think it's 100% correct, but does the job here.
