I am using rsync now but when I want to merge the updates I get from rsync into my distro area (for kickstart installs) that is where it becomes a problem. Basically that is what I am asking is what tools do people use to merge updated RPMs into the distribution area. So the basic steps would be: rsync down the updates merge udpates into distro <--- here rebuild the hdlist Steve -----Original Message----- From: Robert G.

There is not much else out there. Anonymous rsync? That's the methodology recommended in the yum article and howto, where the site that you are mirroring permits it. rsync has certain advantages as it tries to be very efficient and only get what is changed. There is a scriptlet that will rsync the fedora core from mirror.dulug.duke.edu in the article. You may want to play with the depth of the rsync target, depending on whether you want to grab the iso's and source rpm's. I've rewritten the script to go to the 1/i386/os level (IIRC without looking). rgb > > Steve > _______________________________________________ > Yum mailing list > Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum > Robert G.
