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?
