Hello list, In yum Wiki (http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/YumMultipleMachineCaching) for "rsync /var/cache/yum and set keepcache=1 in yum" solution, James wrote in cons point: preupgrade/etc. doesn't easily share data with "normal" yum, even if they need the same data. Can someone (James ?) explain this sentence ? What is "normal" yum ? Does it means that I cannot perform a "yum upgrade" on a server, which uses the replicated cache ? Another question about this configuration: Do you know a tool like a local yum makecache to rebuild metadata with only the list of downloaded packages (RPM in yum cache) ? May be a "createrepo" for each section in the cache ? The server, which uses the replicated cache, uses the replicated metadata and these metadata contain the list of all packages on the original repository. If somebody has installed a package directly with rpm command, yum update fails if an update is available because the package is not in the cache. With the metadata restricted to the packages in cache, this problem can't occur.
