So, I read the blurb that strongly advises against doing an iso-based

in all the updates at once.

I have a bunch of machines to upgrade to both the workstation and
server products. Having each one download everything it needs, is
going to get real old.

In the past I simply rsync-ed the installation image. I have plenty of
disk space on the LAN. Then I just fedup-ed everything from my rsynced
image. This was almost the most efficient way to get everything updated.

Is there a single repository that I can keep rsync-ing regularly, and
use it to upgrade my machines – to both workstation and server
products – over a period of time?

I have always done my own rsyncing for local repos.  But was pointed to
the place to do it right:

Once you have your local repo, point yum to it and off you go.



About how much space would a local mirror take?

I have multiple machines and in the same boat.

# du -hs *
41G    i386
44G    x86_64

This is for OS only. Last download was sunday, so the final might have be a bit more, or a bit less. Of course updates grow and grow.
