Create paths/directories: /var/www/html/yum/Fedora/core/4/updates/i386 /var/www/cache 2. Download updates to that directory with ftp. 3. run "createrepo \ -c /var/www/cache /var/www/html/yum/Fedora/core/4/updates/ 3. Add a ".repo" file or adjust yum.conf [updates-released] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates baseurl=http://localhost|LAN IP/yum/Fedora/core/$releasever/updates/$basearch/ enabled=1 4. Cron a daily rsync: rsync -avrt rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/updates/4/i386 \ --exclude=debug/ --exclude=repodata/ --exclude=*debuginfo* --exclude=*i18* \ --exclude=*langpack*/var/www/html/yum/Fedora/core/4/updates 5. Followed by: createrepo \ -c /var/www/cache /var/www/html/yum/Fedora/core/4/updates/ Once you are sure that is working, add repoview from extras to provide the browser file and RSS. -- Our DNSRBL - Eliminate Spam: http://www.TQMcube.com Multi-RBL Check: http://www.TQMcube.com/rblcheck.php Zombie Graphs: http://www.TQMcube.com/zombies.php
