Hello all
I used Centos 4.0 iso to setup my systems and updated till date. I assume they are equivalent to systems created with Centos 4.4
Now, I am planning to setup a full local repository of Centos updates, extras, centosplus etc. (not isos...as I intend to download isos only when Centos 5 becomes available.
Please advise what directories I should download for my local repository, as the download tree has updates, extras, centosplus repos for 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4. & 4.4 & so on. Please advise the appropriate rsync commands, so that I can use it, so as to exclude isos and include the rest.
A smal comment on how the repos relate to version numbers would be really appreciated.
With best regards. Sanjay.
I have been using lftp to mirror CentOS files. For example, the following one-liner mirrors CentOS4 updates i386 directory:
lftp -e 'open http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/4/updates && mirror -c --delete i386 && exit'
You can exclude directories by using the -x flag.
