Good evening, all, Many, many, _many_ thanks to everyone that has worked so hard on the yum tool and rpm repositories. Yum _rocks_! :-) I've put together a script to rsync down some of the major yum repositories. The tool manages Fedora core 1 and 2 (i386 and x86_64) and handles the atrpms, ccrma, core, freshrpms, updates, and wstearns yum repositories. It creates the text sections to add to yum.conf and hardlinks duplicate files (saving 3G out of 18G). The tool and a little more description can be found at http://www.stearns.org/mirror/ . Bug reports and patches to support new features are welcome. Cheers, - Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "My Operat~1 System supports long filena~1, does yours?"
