Hi!
I want to create my own yum update mirror for my office LAN only since I have 50 machines FC3 and to update all from the net is killing my inet link.
Can anyone give me some pointers where can I start with because googling didn't take me aanywhere?
use the mirror capabilities of lftp to mirror a yum server somewhere (or rsync with one) - and point your clients your local copy of the updates.
It would be a good idea to also make a copy of the base.
yum isn't anything special - just needs a http, ftp, or nfs server - and once a day or so update your mirror with some external mirror somewhere. lftp in a crontab is good for that.
Here's what I run from my crontab once a day -
#!/bin/sh export TERM=Linux # mirror Fedora C3 updates
MIRROR="ftp://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/fedora/fedora/fedora/3/i386/RPMS.updates/"; cd /var/yum/FC3_UPDATES/RPMS.updates lftp -e 'mirror -e && exit' ${MIRROR}
My fc3 boxes then get pointed to that local repository.
