Not really up2date, but I use the following script:

#!/bin/sh

export RSYNC_PASSWORD=XXXXXXXXXX
REMOTE_DIR="rsync://beta@ftp.beta.redhat.com/beta/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i
386/RedHat/RPMS/"
LOCAL_DIR=/home/RedHat/rawhide/RPMS/

mirror() {
        rsync -LvvH --delete --stats --progress --recursive
--exclude=headers --size-only $REMOTE_DIR $LOCAL_DIR
}
mirror

rpm -Fvh /home/RedHat/rawhide/RPMS/*.rpm


	...viewer discretion advised...
	You'll need to change the mirror and password, but you get the
idea....
	Works quite nicely for archiving updates as well....
