Hi, I'm currently trying to mirror a couple of yum repositories and the only tool that seems to be available for this is reposync. Unfortunately reposync for some inexplicable reason seems to use the yum config of the local system as a basis for its work which makes no sense and creates all kinds of problems where cache directories and metadata gets mixed up. Are there any alternatives? Some repos support rsync but not all of them so I'm looking for something that works for all repos.
It is not 'inexplicable'. reposync was primarily built for a user to sync down the repositories they are using to be local.. so using yum.conf makes sense. The fact that it can be used for a lot of other things is built into various configs which the man page covers. As John Hodrien mentioned, you can use the -C flag to point it to a different config file. This is the way to use it if you are wanting to download other files and data. Tools like cobbler wrap the reposync in this fashion.
