Re: [CentOS] Creating a controlled local repo

Therefore I've planned to create a local repo on one of our servers, share /var/cache/yum, set keepcache to 1 on that server and have it reposync periodically (like once a week) with CentOS Base, Extras, rpmforge and so on.

Why not make a "real" mirror using rsync, test new updates on a test test machine, and run "yum update" on the clients when the test machine is ok?

You could risk getting into trouble updating via a shared /var/cache/yum when CentOS 5.3, 5.4, etc. comes out.

Use nvidia-x11-drv from rpmforge to get updated nvidia drivers.
