Mirror for admins with caching proxys

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Stop reading now if you don't have a caching proxy.

I've created, yet another mirror of the yum repository for fedora. This is not just another mirror. This mirror will
properly construct 'Expires' headers for the files.


All files ending with .rpm and .hdr will expire in a year.
All other files will expire when the mirror will resync with
the master mirror.

For timing and example yum.conf entries have a look at:
http://www.edebris.com/fedora.redhat/mirror/
http://www.edebris.com/fedora.us/mirror/

If the entire world used the same hierarchy, this could
be the sole mirror of the yum repositories.

With this mirror, and your caching proxy, you will
not need to maintain your own local yum repository.
But you will get all the speed!

There is one last thing to be done, when prompted with
an 'If-Modified-Since' request, send only a 304 (Not Modified) code with a new expires date.
