There's a yum-util called reposync which can sync-down a yum repository or a set of repositories pretty easily. 2. The only thing I can think of for marking a repository as for a specific distro is adding some tag to the repomd.xml and then checking it from somewhere. But I'm still a bit unsure of the utility of marking a repo for a specific distro. I'll bring up adding an extension like this in the repomd.xml. -sv _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum
