Here is how I set mine up:
---/etc/cron.daily/update_repository --- #!/bin/sh MIRROR_HOST=mirrors.secsup.org RSYNC_REPOSITORY=redhat
LOCAL_DIR=/var/ftp/pub
rsync -av --partial --stats \ --include "fedora/core/updates" \ --include "updates/9/" \ --exclude "redhat" \ --exclude "contrib" \ --exclude "beta" \ --exclude "fedora/core/1/" \ --exclude "development" \ --exclude "updates" \ --exclude "test" \ ${MIRROR_HOST}::${RSYNC_REPOSITORY} ${LOCAL_DIR}
cd /var/ftp/pub/fedora/core/updates/1/i386/ yum-arch .
# Snipped the non-i386 specific stuff...
--- End update_repository script
The main thing you missed is the yum-arch step at the end. Delete the ./headers/ directory from the download copy then rerun yum-arch in your binary directories (e.g., RPMS/i386, RPMS/i686). The rsync script is not optimal -- I had weird errors trying to synch the correct directory :D. But it is working here for me.
I did something similar using lftp.
---------- lftp.updates ------------ open download.fedora.redhat.com:/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/1 mirror -X '*-debuginfo-*' -e -n i386 /home/local/src/fedora-1-updates ----------- end file 'lftp.updates' --------
# lftp -f lftp.updates
----- /etc/yum.conf snippet----- [updates-released] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates baseurl=file:///home/local/src/fedora-$releasever-updates ---------------------------------
(/home is a shared NFS filesystem) It seems to work, although I've never run 'yum-arch'...
