I have built my repo by copying the content of the ISO images, maintaining the date.
When I test with:
rsync -avun rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.1/os/i386/ \ --exclude=debug/ /repos/centos/5.1/os/i386
the only file listed is:
CentOS/yum-kernel-module-1.0.4-3.el5.centos.2.noarch.rpm
Which I did not get from the ISOs.
but if I leave off the -u option, the list is VERY long. Why?
Also do I need to use the --delete option to get rid of rpms replaced with newer versions?
---- man rsync
-u, --update skip files that are newer on the receiver
it won't copy the files that are the same
--delete yes
it deletes files that don't exist anymore on server
heavily recommend dag's mrepo...it does all the heavy lifting for you
