I am looking for a tool to keep disk-only respositories in sync with what is on the net. I am making a single-disc linux distro based off FC1, and would like to be able to include packages that they do not. Ideally, I would have a structure as follows: ~build/new_linux ~build/repositories/fedora ~build/repositories/freshrpms ~build/repositories/atrpms ~build/repositories/newrpms etc. Where I would have a list of what packages should be kept up to date in the repositories. Then I would like to use yum to keep the directories in sync with the rest of the net. I could then merge the RPMs together that I wanted, and generate an ISO containing those RPMs, to simplify installation and updating. However, glancing through the yum man page, I do not see a way to download, but not install, an rpm. Is there a way to do this, or should I work on extending yum? Apologies if this has been asked before. I did not see a way to search the list. -- Josh More <jmore@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
