I guess I could change it to *athlon.rpm. Realistically the headers don't take up that much space, even if I never use them. > why not just run yum-arch . on that repo after the rsync then you'll > have only the headers and header.info for the packages that > are present? Well that just seemed redundant to me. I sync every hour with the repository and it usually takes a couple of minutes to do a full yum-arch. So I wanted to avoid that. I think I will just go ahead and sync the header files and exclude the RPMS since it doesn't appear that YUM has the capability to exclude the header files I specify. If that doesn't work then I will go the rebuild the database with yum-arch. John
