i've maintained a local centos repository at work using rsync, but it seems the corp honchos have decided to block rsync at our firewall, plus its never been 100% reliable, I'd get aborts on protocol errors sometimes several times before pulling down a complete new distro update. i'm trying to figure out how to do this with lftp, and its got me somewhat stymied. I'm testing with --dry-run like... lftp -c 'open http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/ && mirror -c -X \*/ia64 -X \*/s390 -X \*/alpha -X \*/SRPMS --dry-run' but my -X excludes don't seem to work (I don't want/need itanium, s390, alpha, or SRPMs in my repo). and, it doesn't seem to be aware of the symlinks from, for example, /5/ to /5.6/ and seems to want to pull down two copies instead (I understand that http doesn't make symlinks obvious). Should I use ftp:// instead of http:// or something? does someone have a script for maintaining a repo with lftp they'd like to share? what I saw on the wiki wasn't very helpful. -- john r pierce N 37, W 122 santa cruz ca mid-left coast
