I am downloading (with rsync) the x86_64 os and updates, but noticed how

Can I rsync the everything packages and repodata directories on top of
the os tree to make a complete setup, or do I have to have to keep the
everything tree separate?
Your question is ambigous, because there is a "os" directory
in both the "Everything" repo and in each separate product tree.
Example:
Fedora 22 GNOME Workstation (x86_64) repo:
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/22/Workstation/x86_64/os/
Fedora 22 Everything (x86_64) repo:
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/22/Everything/x86_64/os/
Good point. I pulled down the server os, eventhough I plan on putting
it on a workstation (notebook). In F21, I found that the workstation
release was too limited.
The "Everything" repo contains all packages at the time of release.
The other trees contains just the packages as used by the
individual product installation media.
So, yes, you can mirror "Everything", but think twice. How many of
the packages in that huge collection do you really need?
Not too many. And disk space on my 1Tb drive is getting scarce, but do
I still need F17 & F19?
I would rather
mirror the product repo you really use. The updates and updates-testing
repos may grow a lot, too, and include many updates you don't need either.
I don't mirror update-testing. Update was a 13Gb download.
Well for now I will see how it goes. Thanks for the reply.
