I am setting up a public mirror for Lithuania. 99% of us we needs only centos 5, only i386 and x64 architectures. I am trying to set up a public mirror for them, but how I tell rsync to automatically skip other versions? Or i need multiple rsync entries in my crontab?
If anyone have made the same thing (partial mirror) please share how to do this best. Because, we really dont need stuff like centos 2.1, 3 and even 4 :)
The best way is probably to use --exclude="2*/" --exclude="3*/" --exclude="4*/" in your rsync command (I think that's the right syntax).
