Good afternoon, Jonathan, all, On Wed, 18 Jan 2006, Jonathan Allen wrote:
A client has a number of machines on their internal LAN, all running FC4. To keep them all up2date takes quite a lot time and bandwidth because even at 512M broadband speeds the stuff has to be downloaded for all the machines on the network. Could I set them up with their firewall machine holding a mirror of the Fedora Core and Extras repositories and have all the network machines point to the firewall for repositories ? Any pointers to doing this and gotchas to beware of would be welcome ...
I've put together a script to handle mirroring repositories locally. http://www.stearns.org/yum-pull/ has the script and a howto document on how to set it all up.
Best of luck!
