Yes, it is a complete fedora yum update mirror. I basically mirror the entire tree, then just delete the stuff I don't need to save space. In my %post, I create a temporary yum.conf file that points at my local repository, then run yum update. After the update is completed, the yum.conf is replaced with one pointing at a "public" repository. -Dan > Following on to this discussion, when you say that you created a yum > update repository, just exactly what do you mean?
