Now I can point my yum config at the 3 updates directory (which I have mirrored locally) but there are required patches which are not in there!
I know that the patches are in 3.4 base but I don't want to download that. All I want is the changes from 3.3 to 3.4. If these were in the 3 updates then I would be fine.... but they are not :(
Well a repo that contains just the modified files in base between the versions is possible - but there would be a lot of files - iirc about 150 from 3.3 - 3.4 and 90 from 3.4 -> 3.5, and of course all the big files are there - kernel, openoffice, glibc etc
Many of these updates are the same package, so the old versions will not need to be kept. There will be a lot of files, but that is the point, all the files will be together.
Maybe it would not need to have the ones that have been 3.3 updates ??
But it could easily be produced if it is of general interest - and could be done with hardlinks so as not to take any mirror space.
This is what I am after :)
I am willing to help get this set up if there is anything I can do. I can certainly test.
John.
