Mirroring via httpis way more of a pain and uses WAY more bandwidth than rsync since the latter just pulls the new or changed files. Mirroring just 6 is as simple as making the remote directory the 6 ones. I suggest something like the following which should also keep the symlink up to date:

RSYNC="`which rsync`" OPTS="--delay-updates --delete-delay --devices --links --partial --perms --progress --recursive --sparse --specials --timeout=600 --times --quiet" DST="/some/local/dir" SRC="rsync://eu-msync.centos.org/"

# CentOS 6 Repos MSG="Starting sync of CentOS 6 repos" echo "${MSG}" logger -t rsync "${MSG}" ${RSYNC} ${OPTS} ${SRC}/centos-6/* ${DST}/CentOS/

Hi! I would like to setup a centos mirror but only with centos 6 data. Would be enough to use http://eu-msync.centos.org/centos-6 ?

is it ok a command like: rsync -avSH --delay-updates --delete $remote_dir $mirror_dir

where remote-dir is rsync://eu-msync.centos.org/centos-6 ?

is there a way to use a http mechanism? (i imagine that eu-msync.centos.org is an alias to the closest mirror and most often the http is used and less rsync)

Thanks! Adrian
