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
