Do you know if something like this exists for RPM-based distributions?

I maintain a local mirror of the centos repository with a simple lftp script, and configure my clients to get updates from this mirror via the /etc/yum.repos.d files....

my update_morror.sh script that gets run daily from a crontab

#!/bin/sh /usr/local/bin/lftp -c 'open ftp://mirrors.sonic.net && lcd /mnt/zbig/mirror && mirror --continue --verbose=1 -x ia64 -x s390 -x s390x -x alpha -x SRPMS centos'

If you use this, replace ftp://mirrors.sonic.net with a mirror well connected to your ISP, chosen from http://www.centos.org/download/mirrors/

Hello,

It looks like apt-cacher-ng can deal with RPMs, says a quick search: http://blog.hudecof.net/posts/2014/08/15/apt-cacher-ng-and-remap.html

If that doesn't work you could try more traditional ways of caching content like squid or Apache mod_proxy/cache. http://serverascode.com/2014/03/29/squid-cache-yum.html

Hi,

For some time I've fiddled with Debian and Ubuntu LTS. There's one really nice feature for local networks: apt-cacher, a package proxy for APT.

My company is in the remote South French countryside, and more often than not, schools and public libraries only have some very limited Internet access with relatively low bandwidth, which can make the updating process very tedious. A package cache comes in very handy in such situation.

Do you know if something like this exists for RPM-based distributions?

Cheers,

Niki
