Hey folks,
I just did an update on a system that is taking the better part of a day ( 5.3 ---> 5.7 ) mainly due to file download times.
And I have 4 or 5 more systems to do.
I know I can create my own repository and then point them at it - but that is difficult here because rsync is blocked (ggrrrrrr...)
Surely there must be a way to have yum on the first box automatically cache everything and then have the other boxes use the cache? Maybe if not directly, then with squid or something like that?
Anyone happen to have done this before?
i am using this script since years to have running one build/update-server caching all packages in a local-repo and all other machines in the network have only the via http exported cache-repo active
this machine must have all packages used in the whole network installed this si for fedora, but CentOS should not be the big difference
1. you save bandwith / time 2. you can be sure that all machines having the same package-versions
[root@buildserver:~]$ cat /buildserver/repo-cache.sh #!/bin/bash basearch=`uname -i` releasever=`rpm -q --qf "%{version}\n" fedora-release` # Alle Subfolder unter "/var/cache/yum" durchlaufen und RPM-Pakete # in das eigene Repo kopieren for g in `ls -1b /var/cache/yum` do if [ -d /var/cache/yum/$g/packages ] then echo "/var/cache/yum/$g/packages/ > /repo/cache/fc$releasever/" sudo cp --verbose /var/cache/yum/$g/packages/*.rpm /repo/cache/fc$releasever/ 2> /dev/null fi done sudo createrepo -d /repo/cache/fc$releasever/ sudo chown -R builduser:builduser /repo/cache/fc$releasever/ sudo chmod -R 755 /repo/cache/fc$releasever/
